Having read this thread, I wonder: What if 9/11 actually used some of the items mentioned here instead of box cutters? What if they had martial arts training and used that? What kind of a knee-jerk reaction would government have inflicted on us then?


See my post just above yours. There's your knee jerk reaction. Conair. Not too far away in my opinion. Who could have ever predicted 10 or 15 years ago we would be at a point where full body x-rays and prison style friskings would be par for the course for ordinary citizens to travel.
