As long as you don't run with scissors....

Now I can once again feel free to clip my nails on a Boeing. Hooray!

But seriously, I think the ridiculously paranoid practice of not allowing things like screwdrivers and nail clippers on airplanes needed to be changed. As well put by one of the union representatives in the article, "A ballpoint pen in the hands of a terrorist is a weapon."

At the same time, critics of the revised security plan are unhappy:

"I have not spoken to a flight attendant at any airline that isn't outraged by this," said Thom McDaniel, president of Southwest Airlines flight attendants' union, Transport Workers Local 556. "They want to focus more on explosives, but they're not even mentioning that the biggest threat to commercial aviation right now is still the fact that most cargo is not screened."

He's got a good point.
