TSA fire sale: Knives, power tools, baseball bats

It's truly amazing what some people will try to carry on to a plane. Most of the knives, power tools, scissors, etc. are resold by the TSA at state-run stores like the one in Harrisburg, Pa.

At the state warehouse in Harrisburg, Victorinox and other name brand blades, like Gerbers and Leathermans, are boxed up and shipped in bulk to online bidders at www.govdeals.com.

Many of the customers are resellers. But some of them are Boy Scout troop leaders, who buy Swiss army knives by the handful.
