Knives are now allowed back on airplanes.
The TSA is now allowing metal meal knives — though, of course, only first class meals need them — to go along with the previously allowed (and arguably as dangerous) metal forks and spoons. Northwest has already adopted the them, Continental plans to, and American is “evaluating its options.”
Of course, trying to carry the same knife through security at the airport will still get you cuffed and hauled away as a potential terrorist. Only knives officially handed out by flight attendants alongside meals are considered safe enough for the friendly skies.

Do they have a policy on sporks?
As far as I can tell, the only policy is, you can’t take one through security … 🙂
