You mean like they did on 9/11?</font>
Terrorists didn't get anything past security on 9/11. They were carrying permitted items that were not and are not any more of a credible threat than objects that are already on board aircraft (glass bottles).
9/11 occurred because islamic wacko terrorists exploited USA aviation policy to cooperate with hijackers, not because of any breaches in security. The solution to 9/11 is to kill and threaten to kill existing and likely islamic wacko terrorists, not to confiscate knitting needles or scissors from innocent passengers.
