The news used to be printed on paper, and back in those days every extra character would increase costs. These days it's partly tradition, and partly so the headline doesn't get cut off in embeds
TSA still won't let them through, but the airlines will be more than happy to sell you a small tool kit containing a 6oz ball peen hammer, pop rivet gun, an assortment of rivets, flat & Philips #2 screwdrivers, and a 3m roll of duct tape. They'll be available on the service card for $28 (please make sure you have the latest version of our app, and have a credit card on file!)
Also, they'll be passing along a new Enhanced Egress cabin fee for upgraded deplaning experience.
