"Carry-on baggage rules will be relaxed under a shake-up of aviation security announced by the Federal Government today. The changes will see passengers again allowed to carry some sharp implements, such as nail files and clippers, umbrellas, crochet and knitting needles on board aircraft from July next year"
Best quote:
"Metal cutlery will return to return to cabin meals and airport restaurants following Government recognition that security arrangements must be targeted at 'real risks'."
...somebody care to tell the TSA this is how you do security planning? Oh, wait - passenger screening isn't a federal jobs program for the Ozzies like it is here in the USA.
Now to get them to drop that assinine web filtering scheme.
