Small Knives Get Through Screening, Onto Plane At Newark

Yesterday, a Las Vegas-bound flight from Newark Airport was delayed after knives were found in the carry-on luggage of one passenger. According to the AP, the Transportation Security Administration explained that a "passenger looking through her overhead luggage had a small Swiss Army knife and another knife with a 2 1/2 inch blade." It's unclear who alerted the crew, but the Continental plane was returned to the gate and cleared of passengers for a check. Oh, and "The TSA is investigating how the knives made it through security."
