No, they will just see if its a small knife, like a Swiss Army or Penknife and if its small folding knife then they will let ya on through.Box cutters are apparently still on the no fly list.

Just stick you knife in your checked luggage and be done with it.
TSA can kiss my ass. They have a simple job to do and do it so poorly we are the laffing stock of the world. Worse is they have a serious ego and power trip going on that needs to be crushed.
Our safety is ALWAYS at risk. I fly a lot. Just got back from the West coast this time last week. I never feel safe on an airplane. I cannot have my firearm nor a knife to protect myself. If I die because of some asshat wanna be terrorist or pussy hijacker, its on the head of TSA and the goberment, because they TOOK AWAY my right to defend myself in the name of "security" which does not exist, and put me at the mercy of those who ignore the laws. There is nothing safe about being anywhere that weapons are banned. Ever.
I also never feel safe after I get off the airplane, because I cannot easily fly with my firearms, and even if I did the entire legal system in this country is completely jacked up in regards to the carrying of firearms, and want the populace unarmed. Obviously the further I am from home, the more i feel the need to be armed, and the airlines make that as hard as they possibly can.
Its seriously about time for the society at large to sac up and stop being afraid of shadows.
