Families Furious Over TSA Decision

Mother of 9/11 hero furious that TSA will allow small knives and golf clubs onto planes as they loosen security regulations
Parents of 9/11 victims are speaking out after TSA announced plans to allow small knives onto commercial planes starting on April 25

The Association of Professional Flight attendants blasted 'poor and shortsighted decision'
'Yoghurt's more dangerous than a pen knife!' says outraged 9/11 mother
Families of victims of the September 11th terrorist attacks are outraged over the proposed changes to TSA policies that will now allow small knives and large athletic equipment like lacrosse sticks of golf clubs on board commercial airplanes. 
'I'm really horrified and I would say the majority of 911 family members are really shocked by it,' said Sally Regenhard, the mother of firefighter Christian Regenhard who died trying to save people in the World Trade Center. 
Ms Regenhard is just one of the relatives of 9/11 victims who cannot believe that the Transportation Security Administration would allow so many more items past security now after they announced just yesterday that the changes will go into effect because of a review of U.S. regulations.

I would rather be able to bring my water on board with me. My hubby always has a pocket knife in his pocket and we have to remember to leave it with whatever family member drops us off at the airport as his has sentimental value to him. I'm sure a pocket knife could do some serious damage, but I think it might also work well as a defense piece should trouble brew on a flight.

If everybody was allowed to carry concealed and properly trained, there would never be another hijacking.

Why again is it that TSA is pulling security for private businesses? The TSA is nothing more than a liberty breaching welfare program for big business.

How about we do away with the unconstitutional TSA ?
