TSA Stands Firm on Knife Regulation

[Ben]

I am pleasantly shocked. I thought this was dead in the water shortly after TSA announced it, but they are standing firm on pushing through the relaxed regulations allowing knives in aircraft cabins. Despite a 400,000 signature petition. I don't know how to statistically extrapolate a population from a biased sample set, but that 400,000 has to represent A LOT of the the US population. It's kind of sad when a government agency that's looked at as one of the most restrictive to the rights of citizens, is fighting a large number of those citizens in an attempt to relax its own regulations. Kind of a bizzaro 1984.
