Riga 137:
Even small knives are forbidden from being carried onboard all commercial airliners, as are almost all items which could potentially be used as weapons, including scissors and nail-clippers. However knives can normally be transported by air travellers if securely packed in hold luggage, where they will be inacessible during the flight. Obviously, travellers should be aware of the legislation affecting knives in the country they are travelling to, which may ban knives which are legal in their home countries. The knife laws of different countries vary, but are generally strict in Western countries.

Knife laws vary tremendously. In [[Texas]], for example, individuals may carry knives openly or concealed so long as they are single-edged, and are not [[dagger]]s, [[switchblade]]s, or [[gravity knife]]s ([[Butterfly knife]] legality is questionable — there have been convictions). In some other States, fixed-blade knives are banned, open carry is banned, and sometimes [[concealed carry]] of anything except pocket knives is banned. Cities have ordinances further restricting these laws; in [[San Antonio, TX]], it is a violation to carry a folding knife having a locking blade. In some metro areas such as [[Washington, D.C.]], going into office buildings or museums, or simply loitering while carrying even small 3" folding knives can be problematic. Other restricted areas in the U.S. include court buildings, federal property (the latter of which technically has a limit of 2.5 inch blades) and [[Zero tolerance policy|public school grounds]].
