Keep your Knives and scissors

It has finally been ruled that airline passengers are allowed to take all kinds of nail clippers, knives shorter than 4 inches/ 12cm and tweezers, NT cutters and other highly terrifying tools of terrorism(sic) back onto the planes for their trips.
Freedom at last. Keep your stuff.
The five year collection period has ended.
Maybe airlines will open museums to display their vast quantities of confiscated tools with looped videos of disgruntled passengers and Art handlers who arrived at work on the other side, only to discover they had to buy new leatherman’s and tools and tweezers and knives. Or maybe they will be given to the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation for a large scale public sculpture at Ground Zero.
Where did they all go? Does anyone know?
Thanks Guys. Thanks for collecting all that stuff. We missed it!
This ruled on the same day on which the transit strike ended here in New York. I felt that walking to work was pretty exciting-use you’re legs your fat enough! I actually cycled into Manhattan each day.
I had hoped it would make people realise that cars had had their day. They too became useless when everyone who had one got inside one to drive around ahem, sorry, I mean sit in traffic. You couldn’t really call it driving now could you.
