TSA Has No Plans to Rescind New Knives on Planes Policy
Despite growing opposition from airlines and industry unions to the TSA's new policy allowing passengers to carry small knives on planes, the agency's head said he is not backing down.
"I have to make sure that TSA's focus is on those things that are most destructive to the aircraft," TSA administrator John Pistole told ABC News. "It is not pocket knives. It is those non-metallic improvised explosive devices, the bombs that are very small. They are concealable and they are well designed."
