WASHINGTON: The top executive of a major US airline has voiced opposition to a change in security regulations that will allow small pocket knives, baseball bats and other previously banned sporting equipment aboard airplanes.
"These items have been banned for more than 11 years and will add little value to the customer security process flow in relation to the additional risk for our cabin staff and customers," Delta Air Lines CEO Richard Anderson wrote to the head of the Transportation Security Administration on Thursday.
The missive followed a decision by the TSA to allow pocket knives and other sporting equipment -- banned on US flights since the September 11, 2001 attacks -- back in aircraft cabins.
