Yeah, that's one of the side effects of the recent obsession with liquids. Other, possibly more dangerous items go undetected.
we were horrified that we had done this and even mor horrified and very disturbed that it was not picked up.
C'mon, horrified because of a cheese knife? Certainly not with the changed attitude toward hijackers since 9/11.
BTW, have you ever thought about the possibility that the 9/11-hijackers could actually have used more serious weaponry than just a few box cutters? After all, the witnesses are all dead, so we don't know for sure what happened on those planes...
