Looking for actual instances of this from person from whom knife was taken.
Have another heavyweight lawmaker in DC ready to jump on this if we can find an example.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Edited to add: By Military Knife I mean any knife owned by a member of the United States military and in their possession upon re-entry to the United States.
Yes this was prompted by stories of this happening. Trying to find some truth here.

Bill,
Think I'm going to have this problem...got two knives longer than 4"...was told I could redeploy with them in my checked baggage on MILAIR. Now, I'm flying back commercially...the other issue is the APO won't let you mail them home either. So more than likely, they will remain here...which is a shame, as one is an Iraqi knife I actually have orders for...will let you know what happens when I redeploy in a few days.
