The Transportation Security Admin. (TSA) has primary responsibility for ensuring the security of civil aviation. In Dec. 2005, TSA revised its prohibited items list to allow passengers to carry on board: (1) metal scissors with pointed tips & a blade 4” or less in length; & (2) tools, such as pliers, screwdrivers, & wrenches 7” or less in length. This report addresses the following questions: What was TSA’s basis for removing certain scissors & tools from the prohibited items list & what are stakeholder views on the change? What have been the impacts, if any, of the removal of certain scissors & tools from the prohibited items list on the security of aircraft passengers & flight crew & on the effectiveness of checkpoint screening operations?
