    Another airline executive is speaking out on a plan by federal regulators to allow passengers to bring small knives into the cabin of commercial planes.

    Doug Parker, chief executive at US Airways, wrote to the head of the Transportation Security Administration on Monday, asking that the agency reconsider the proposed policy change.

    The TSA announced last week plans to let passengers carry small folding knives -- with blades no more than 2.36 inches long and 1/2 inch wide -- into the cabin of a commercial plane, starting April 25. It is the biggest relaxation of the list of prohibited items since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

    Why is this such a big deal ? We never had any problems with pocket knives in my lifetime. Why is it that so many whiners are scared of a knife ? I think it has to do with the dumbed down society that liberals have created. And boy are they going to be sorry.
