It's official, the T.S.A has lost their minds! For years, The Transportation Security Administration has banned passengers from bringing on small knives, mini baseball bats, hockey sticks and snow globes onto planes. This has been a precaution to avoid another incident like September 11th. Personally, I have felt that this was a tad extreme, but a necessary evil. Who would want a tragedy like this to occur again. So why on earth would these geniuses go back on these obvious discions. Could it be the Sequester and the budget cuts that come with it or is it the fact that we haven't had a terrorist attack in years. Either way, I feel that this is a major under sight by The United States Government to allow these changes. First of all, they are allowing individuals to bring on blades, that are twice the length of the weapons that were used to take the three planes on 9/11. Do we feel that terrorist have lowered their ambitions in the last twelve years. As for the snow globe decision, why not allow an item with less then 3oz. of liquid onto a plane? If you can bring on a bottle of aftershave, why not an adorable keepsake from Disney Land or New York City? And lets not forget about those collectible baseball bats. How many times does one get to see a true landmark like Wrigley Field or Fenway. For a baseball enthusiast, these are hollowed grounds and who wouldn't want to take home a memento from them. Now you can. T.S.A finally came to their senses and realized that a would be terrorist could never take over a plane with a 12 inch stick. So maybe budget cuts can lead The U.S. government and it's various entities to some reasonable decisions, but they are truly taking a risk with this decision to allow knives on board a plane.
