Hard to imagine a good reason for it. Supposedly to help free up TSA personnel.

I gather it's just little pocket knives, the kind with corkscrews, etc. attached.

Gotta get those little airplane wine bottles open somehow...

I heard about this. Must be it's to save them having to confiscate little knives. I think it was any folding knife under 2 1/2" was ok.

How many here carry a small knife etc? I don't carry one in my pocket. But, have a leatherman in my european carry all (man purse). It comes in handy now and then. One of the tools in the leatherman is a small knife about as long as they allow.

Wonder why you would need to carry it on your person. Why not put it in your luggage and check it?

Razor blade knifes and box cutters are still prohibited.

I do agree though that no knives is a better policy.

Maybe they will leave my shaving cream and toothbrush alone, plus razer in the future. Each agent probably has enough they took home to last several lifetimes.
