  1. Chan Lowe: TSA begins allowing small knives, etc.

    Like many other travelers, I’ve lost several keychain pocketknives to the TSA that I forgot to remove from the ring. I once lost a drawing pen, then I figured out that by removing the point from the handle and packing it separately, the TSA’s suspicions that I was carrying a potential weapon would be allayed (even though I could easily reassemble it on board the plane and use it to poke my seatmate).

  7. Why the no-fly list doesn't fly

    Flying commercial can be a terrible hassle these days, but not for Steven Washburn. The people in charge of airport security have decided to spare him all the inconveniences. No taking off his shoes and belt, no putting his liquids in a plastic bag, no enduring a full body scan. Oh, and he gets to skip one more procedure: getting on the plane.
