Been a while for my posts but this one just got me. As many of you know I'm really big on self defense and knife fighting, knife disarms etc. I find this particular article very puzzling. Here a man tries to smuggle a knife onto an aircraft.... it is found and it's confiscated, no problem but then.... WTF. This is even more evidence that we need to, that would be all of us, know how to do simple weapons disarms and to know the fundamentals of self defense since the TSA is putting us a risk with this particular procedure...
NEW YORK – Federal
officials say security screeners at New York's Kennedy Airport caught a
man trying to smuggle a knife onto a flight by plunging it into a full
tub of mayonnaise.
A Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman says screeners stopped the man Tuesday as he arrived for a trip to Mexico City.
The hiding spot was poorly chosen. Jars of mayonnaise are also banned from carry-on luggage in the U.S.
The TSA considers mayo to be a liquid or
gel. That means passengers can't bring it aboard unless the container
holds less than 3.4 ounces.
TSA spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein says Port
Authority Police confiscated both the knife and the mayonnaise. They
still allowed the man to catch his plane.
