Maybe He Likes To Whittle During Take Off

"Baseball Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan was delayed from boarding a flight at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport on Tuesday morning after security guards found a knife in his carry-on luggage, an airport spokeswoman said. "The knife, with a 3 1/4 -inch blade, was spotted shortly before 9 a.m. when the former Houston Astros pitcher passed through a Transportation Security Administration checkpoint"

He's from Texas, what self respecting Texan wouldn't have a pocket knife in his pocket? He probably just forget to take it out when he left home. Not that big a deal.

Hey, he played for the Rangers too! (Astros...sheeesh) Maybe it's been a while since he's flown anywhere, and he didn't know that these days, you gotta practically strip down to go through the detectors...shoes, belts and knives included.

Oh, give him a break!!! I once forgot that I had a metal fingernail file along with a set of nail clippers on me prior to boarding a flight at DFW.

Yes, they kept them (like I was going to use them as weapons)....honest mistake!
