Just a guess here, but, I'd bet the bill's sponsor is a Democrat...


EDIT: Bill introduced by Les Ihara, a Democrat. A Moron.

This will never fly. I doubt it will even make it off the senate floor....

FYI, I will continue to carry my pocket knife everywhere I go, 24/7 (except if I have to fly - that is...)
This old Schrade 787 pocket knife was my fathers, and HE carried it in his pocket all the time.
NOBODY (except the airlines)had better tellme that I can't carry it!!!! [:@]

This pocket knife was in my father's pants pocket on his last fateful trip to the hospital.
My mother handed it to me and said, "He wantedyou to have this".
