The Transportation Security Administration is making changes to the prohibited items list. The changes go into effect April 25th, 2013 and include items like small knives with non-locking blades, novelty-sized toy bats, billiard cues, ski poles, hockey sticks, lacrosse sticks, and two golf clubs as part of their carry on baggage.
"This is part of an overall Risk-Based Security approach, which allows Transportation Security Officers to better focus their efforts on finding higher threat items such as explosive," TSA officials released in a statement.
