Miniature Swiss Army knives -- are they legal on airplanes?

I have heard those tiny 2" long Swiss Army knives (with a blade 1 3/8" long, plus tweezers, a toothpick and 1/2" long scissors blades) are now FAA legal. Does anyone know more? Will airport security let them go on-board?

this is where I found the TSA approved:

I am an employee of TSA , the guys who make your lives a living hell basically at the airport because i get paid to.

NO, they are not legal to take on the plane.
If you want to keep it and not see it thrown in the trash can beside my station as you go through the screening process, put it in check baggage.

r u kidding me. there knives, yes there illegal.

I'm fairly certain they aren't legal. If they dont allow fingernail clippers, I dont think they will allow an actual knife, no matter how small the blade is.

Even if it is legal, a security screener may not let them through. If you are determined to bring it, I would pack it in your luggage.

I've had them taken away before. better stow it, just in case.

Knives of any kind are forbidden on board.
