My keys can be pretty deadly if used in some ways, but I'm pretty sure my guns are generally a more effective tool than keys in being deadly on a larger scale in a shorter time frame if the aim of the individual using the tool is to kill.

I am certainly not a fan of another knee-jerk TSA rule being introduced because of an actual or supposed attack at an airport or on a plane -- that goes for this attack at FLL too.
But no one is talking about bringing a gun into the passenger cabin...
