Who cares? Honestly, who cares.
These items are not by their nature dangerous and people carry them around with them everywhere with absolutely no danger to fellow humans. Why are they suddenly "dangerous items" when you get on a plane. The answer is "they are not". The cockpits are locked and doors reinforced and secure - you are not getting into the cockpit anymore. If someone wants to hurt a fellow passenger they need nothing more than their bare hands and a little training in martial arts to serious hurt or kill someone. Razors, knives, and other "dangerous items" are not making us less safe in the general world, so why do we have to be saved from ourselves while we are on planes?
