You,ve seen it all?Just wait,I,m WW2 Handicapped Veteran and use a walking stick.Recently in Memphis on a flight to Amsterdam this was taken off me by the TSA,it would not fit in a suit case and besides I need it for walking on to the plane.No deal,my stick was taken off me,no one helped me onto the plane until I entered the door of the plane when the Stewardess helped me to my seat.
How did I get round in Amsterdam?I bought a walking stick on one of the Terminal souvernier stores.Go figure That.

I'm permantely disabled too, from four failed back surgeries! I too need a walking cane to assist me while walking. How will I get around without one. Will there be someone at counter to put me in a wheel chair and roll me to the plane's entrance, and then to my seat? Or will I have to do the best I can to make it to my seat? There has to be a reasonable answer to all this. Don't get me wrong, I do believe we have to tighten up on safety upon our planes. Sure we could I suppose use our cane to whoop up on someone. But never would I do that, and probably you wouldn't either! God bless you MAN!! Robbie in TN.

This exact thing happened to me when departing from Australia. Even tho I bought it in an airport duty free shop, they still took the damn snow globe I bought for my son. It really irked me. Next time I go, I'm buying it on my way in and packing it in my bag. they can't confiscate it then!
