exceptions to the rule

In researching relocation considerations for Canadians moving to the United States (hopefully me, in the next month or so), I came across this interesting tidbit from the Canadian Foreign Affairs website:

U.S. Customs and Border ProtectionVery specific U.S. regulations govern what you
may bring into the United States. ....Switchblade knives are prohibited,
except those owned by persons with only one arm.

Now, a Captain Hook-style prosthetic I can understand. But a switchblade?!?
