("A sharp knife is nothing without a sharp eye.") ~ Klingon Honor Guard manual, pg 47

Klingons flying through US airports take note - the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will make you check your traditional weapons including bat'leths.

While not officially found on the TSA's prohibited items list, a smaller version of the double-grip fictional megaweapon was removed from a carry-on bag at Puerto Rico's main international airport last year, as revealed by a TSA blog post this week.


The agency said 2015 was a busy year after screening more than 700 million passengers, about two million per day, and 1.6 billion carry-on bags.

While this was the only Klingon weapon confiscated last year, a similar bat'leth was discovered at New York's LaGuardia airport in 2012.

Among the other notable baggage discoveries last year were live dogs, a knife disguised as a miniature Eiffel Tower, and an alarming amount of throwing blades, including another fictional weapon - Batman's 'batarang' version of a boomerang...

Some time ago tests were run on TSA efficiency. It found that over seventy percent of the time test weapons and bombs were not discovered by TSA searches.

yea, i read that as well... seems the millions of dollars are going to the perverted agents getting their cheap thrills patting down children...

WTF, beam me up Scotty.

Actually I have a weapon very similar to that. The blades fold out the sides and where you grab it is a spiked brass knuckle.

Where do you get such a marvelous toy?

klingons are us...

Why didn't I think of that.

@ the tsa.



Meh...
A sharpened no.2 pencil can be carried EVERYWHERE.

but not nail clippers...

I got mine at a gun show in Reno.
