Fishhooks were an unsafe sharp object? You're kidding...I never knew that. What did the TSA think was going to happen? Terrorists start fly casting in the aisles to take out the crew? Pull the flight deck door open by landing a hook around the knob and using strong tackle to get it unlatched? At least they didn't start confiscating passengers' Orvis catalogs as weapons manuals
