The U.S. Transportation Security Administration will let people carry small pocketknives onto passenger planes for the first time since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, along with golf clubs, hockey sticks and plastic Wiffle Ball-style bats. The agency will permit knives with retractable blades shorter than 6 centimeters (2.4 inches) and narrower than 1/2 inch at the widest point, TSA Administrator John Pistole said today at an aviation security conference in Brooklyn. The change, to conform with international rules, will take effect April 25.

How about a ladybug. I don't have one to measure so if anyone else could that would be appreciated. Thanks.
"The agency will permit knives with retractable blades shorter than 6 centimeters (2.4 inches) and narrower than 1/2 inch at the widest point." I wonder is that the blade length or closed length?

I have just designed a liner lock that fits the standards...but the "Hole" is 6mm due to the narrowness of the blade...
I do not have a "Hole" licence yet, so I cannot do anything with it right now...

Yup, I knew that, I was just refering to my design...
It is actually easier to do it as a slip joint, and that is what I might do when I get some free time...
Grade 1 Titanium scales, and three 3/16 inch pivot bolts...all interchangable if and for when the blade pivot wears...not gonna say any more...
