[pct-l] TSA May Loosen Ban on Razorblades, Knives

[Tortoise73 at charter.net (Tortoise)]

I know your frustration. Returning from Oahu a couple of years ago, 
every person traveling alone was searched while family groups weren't. 
While there is some justification to this approachl, I think any 
terrorist worth his TNT would easily figure a way around this. Such is 
life after 09/11/2001. :-(
