I thought it must be a misprint, but look at this:

The TSA site:

And if you have Acrobat Reader, their list of permitted items in carry-on and checked baggage:

I'm sure that two years ago they were confiscating nail clippers and knitting needles, but apparently not anymore. And I wonder if some airports have tighter restrictions than the TSA list.

Have any regulations eased up in the last two years where you are?

airport security was always tough here, but since 9/11....impossible to comprehend....if 2 years ago you thought an hour would be enough to go through, (and also get a few minutes in duty free) today it can take 2-3 hours...
