My wife reports the news just indicated that Sky Harbor Airport in Pheonix is not even allowing Nail Clippers!!! onto aircraft.
Rick Destephens jokingly asked me this yesterday (9/12) as I mentioned the "cutting implement" restrictions to him.
Now one wonders if the plastic "scissors" in Play-doh sets would be banned...my guess, yep. Can't have a 3-year old taking over a plane.
If security remains like this long term, you can bet the people are just going to forgoe flying. I'd rather drive than subject myself to these draconian infringements.
NAIL CLIPPERS FOR GOD'S SAKE!
Anyone who says the terrorist haven't accomplished their goals need only read that line.
