    American Airlines has “concern” over letting passengers carry small knives on planes, but it’s stopping short of opposing the idea.

    American’s senior vice president for government affairs, Will Ris, said Tuesday that government officials should “reassess” changes to the banned-items list so that airlines and airline employees can review new rules that take effect April 25.

    Ris explained American’s position in a letter to John Pistole, administrator of the Transportation Security Administration.

    Flight attendants’ groups, pilots’ groups and Delta Air Lines oppose the TSA’s plan, which would also let passengers carry hockey sticks, two golf clubs and other sporting gear currently banned from plane cabins.
