As with the latest "attempt" in Europe, pax were successful in restraining the man. Pissy knows this, yet continues to go on the assumption that TSA is the "last line of defense".. You aren't, we are!

After much thought, I think I have finally figured out why the TSA does not want airline passengers to bring razor blades on board the aircraft. It is not that they think the pax are all suicide bombers, or suicidal terrorists. They must think that we are just plain suicidal, and if we commit suicide while on board the aircraft by slitting our wrists with a razor blade, the TSA will be the blamed for our death. Makes a world of sense to me!!
