Knives or any other sharp items are NOT allowed in the carry on luggage though. Watch for kilt pins as well.

I recently flew kilted to and from Fresno
I hadn't thought about it, but you probably have a point (about the kilt pins). However, I had a kilt pin in my laptop bag at O'Hare earlier this summer, and received no grief from the TSA.

My wife, on the other hand, performed her annual "losing of the swiss army knife" trick. She always forgets she has one in her purse, and ends out having to surrender it before she goes through security. Every year for the last three years running. Fortunately, she doesn't buy the expensive ones.
