Yeah. Because nobody will think the guy drinking from his walking stick is any kind of suspicious.

Speaking of drinking on a plane I saw on The View that they have purses that are being sold that you can hide your drink in order to get them on the plane. I thought the same thing.
No one will notice you drinking out of that purse or the nozzle that you use to get the drink into you glass the TSA won't see that obvious thing on the side of the purse. LOL
The canes used in self defense are usually made of a hard wood. You can get them in a variety of handles if you want to make them look stylish.
Cane defense from the little of it that I've seen is not about just whacking a guy with the cane. It uses the can to trip, choke, throws, pin, joint locks, and strikes.

I always wondered why they give you beer cans on air planes that can easily be turned into sharp & jagged blades by either stomping them or ripping them in half but they won;t let me bring my home mead mustard on board because there is too much and it could be used as a weapon lol oh the stupidity... it's like they just want to tell you what to do and you have to listen like they get off power tripping.

Here's more stuff they let you carry on planes: shoe laces, belts, belt buckles, belt buckels with the pin, CD's (break for a shank), ear phones (wires are garrotes), rolled coins (weighted fist), loose coins and socks, canes, walkers, stillettos (shoes, that is)
But don't DARE do what I once did and try to sneak toothpaste on board, lest ye be able to commandeer an airplane by threatening to brush the pilot's teeth...

Soft plastic explosives hidden in the tube. I can't remember where it happened before but someone threatened to blow up a plane with a tube of toothpaste a while ago.

This plane stuff is ridiculous now. They have completely overdone it. I read an article where a passenger was forced to cover there shirt because a passenger might find the shirt offensive. It had a four letter word on it. But the airline doesn't have a dress rule. Another person wasn't allowed to fly either because she had large breast and it might be a distraction to others. She was forced to cover her breast with a shirt or shawl. This same airline allowed a cross dresser to board and fly wearing just a little more than women's underwear. This is not the article but it is in there. The 2nd link has a picture of the woman. She ha big breast that shows some cleavage, but in my opinion not too much. It is not an attractive picture that would be distracting. rt.com/usa/news/us-airlines-reject-boarding-573/www.ctvnews.ca/business/airlines-ambiguous-dress-code-policies-spark-debate-1.930349

odee, I get that. But aren't explosives harmless without a detonator? The detonating mechanism would be discovered, yes? I'm not advocating allowing C4 on a commercial airplane, and they have dogs that can sniff out that stuff. But considering the stuff they do allow, I think it's ridiculous. @jw, yes, I've seen those articles. Spirit and Southwest are big on that crap. If ever there were a need for government involvement, it would be the standardization of what's appropriate and what's not - and don't let the airlines have a say. I hate them with a passion.

What can I say, I'm not going to defend the brains of airlines.

The government doesn't have any regulations regarding dress code since it is not an issue of public safety. But the employee can choose to even though there is no airline policy for dress code. They say they leave it up to the employee. If you argue with the employee you can be locked up.
