Random Idiot's Comments
They've been selling extremely cheap, very sharp knives made entirely out of high-impact plastic at gun shows for years and years. It's ALWAYS been possible to bring a weapon on an airplane.
Think about it: you're afraid to try it once because you don't want to get in trouble. "They" are willing to die, and there's thousands of "them". They're more than happy to spend a year in prison for trying to bring a weapon onto an airplane.
The security measures taken at airports are complete bullshit. Please don't take them seriously. If a serious enemy felt like knocking down our airplanes, they could use any one of a ba-jillion shoulder-fired device (bought at some Somali flea market or something) and take down an airliner every day from now on if they wanted to. There is nothing stopping them.
Why aren't they doing it, then? Please take some time to think that over.

I may be an idiot, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.
