Authorities say an airline passenger has been arrested in Michigan after being found with a knife concealed inside the bottom lining of one of his shoes.
The Transportation Security Administration says the knife was found Sunday morning during security screening at Detroit Metropolitan Airport in Romulus.
The TSA says airport police responded, took possession of the knife and arrested the passenger. His name wasn't immediately released.

Sharp dresser: The Transportation Security Administration says it attested the flyer who tried to sneak a knife into the airport in this shoe

The TSA says the knife should have been placed in checked luggage.

A controversial TSA ruling last year would have allowed passengers to take small knives in their carry-on bags.
After public outcry, including from pilots and flight attendants, the agency reversed the ruling. All knives, except plastic cutlery and butter knives, remained banned in carry-on luggage.

That guy has some splainin to do.

I suspect he might just have wanted to have a knife in case he needed to gut some Moo intent on downing the plane. He could also be a moo who planned on taking down a plane.

I think this was a white guy they nabbed. They were very friggin' careful not to give ANY details about the guy.

Well, the Detroit airport is very near Dearbornistan, so take that for what it's worth.

I've been through there at least a hundred times, perhaps more.

EVERYONE flying into the area generally goes through Metro Airport. It's huge (as big if not bigger than Atlanta for instance), is a hub and anyone flying out of Michigan usually flies in there from somewhere else and then out to their destination.

Could have been anyone.
