Bringing a box cutter to a knife flight

The TSA has finally found a brain cell and is allowing small (less than 6 cm) blades on airplanes. Oh, and golf clubs.

Still don't allow box cutters. Not that I'd ever want to carry a box cutter, but it's still a weird, nonsensical restriction.

Interestingly-enough, these loosened restrictions mean that the Titanium Utility Ring is now "TSA legal".

The revised rules otherwise make a certain sense. The knives have to be folding but not able to lock. So small Leatherman or Swiss Army tools can be carried as tools while large lockbacks or full-sized Leathermans or similar items that can be more effective weapons get put in checked luggage.

Note I said "more effective". Let's face it, a resourceful and properly-trained person can turn innocuous things into a weapon or figure out ways past the unfunny comedy of airport security theater.

At this rate, we may actually have something that might be vaguely sane airplane security rules just in time for the collapse of human civilization. Go hope!
