A three-inch knife??? BFD! (Big furry deal!!!)
"There was no indication as to what charges would be filed"
The passenger should face NO charges. The jackasses who emptied the terminal should be fired and sued in civil court.

Prior to 9/11 box cutters were permitted through security. I suppose a 3 inch blade could do just as much damage.
I think the rules that the TSA continues to impose upon us are pretty ridiculous for the most part. I don't think that allowing ANY type of knife through security should be allowed, however. A 3 inch blade or a 10 inch blade - both can do equal damage and should not be allowed.
