Next thing you know you'll be saying people should be able to carry a gun on a plane.
100 ml of prussic acid is a heck of a lot deadlier than a knife.
Too many people think that the "terrorists" are teeming with members and are only capable of obtaining obvious weapons like knives.
We really need to reassess what constitutes a legitimate threat to aircraft and airpots, focus on those things, and let the rest of them go. A loony could go nuts with a knife at a mall. It's just one of those things no one needs to worry about unless they want to spend their lives worrying about all possible sources of harm.
