A work colleague of mine sent me a link to site which outlines what can, and cannot be taken onto flights with the current flight restrictions. Some of these things are fair enough, some shouldn't have to be stated, and some are just pointless.
Here are a few examples:
You CAN take:
Knitting needles (quite lethal if you ask me!)
Cuticle cutters
Cigar cutters (even though you can't smoke)
Corkscrews (even though you can't take your own drinks)
Toy weapons (do most people know the difference?)
Nitroglycerine pills and sprays (the word nitroglycerine makes me kind of nervous)
Transformer toys (why would there be any doubt, and why specify these toys, were they previously expecting assault with a deadly VW Beetle!)
You CAN'T take:
Meat cleavers, axes and hatchets (I always use them on a flight)
Firearms (D'uh!!)
Cattle prods (always handy for speeding the trolley cows up!)
Throwing stars, brass knuckles, night sticks, billy clubs, and other martial arts weapons (that's Jackie Chan stuck in the US for the foreseeable future!)
Mace / Pepper spray (useful for reducing the queue to the on-plane toilets!)
Tear Gas (Tear gas!! Can you actually purchase this?)
Chlorine for pools and spas (very useful for those long flights!)
Whipping cream (So no kinky stuff when you join the mile high club!)
And the most worrying thing,for some, is that you cannot fly if you have a tool larger than 7" (I'd love to have the job inspecting for that!!)
