Well, at least you are looking at an analysis, but how is the risk of a pocket knife weigh anywhere near the cost of replacement on every trip? The knife CO gives me can do more damage than my little pocket knife.

?? ive never flown CO before but i must try just to see how sharp and pointy theirs are compared to UA and AA.

And so I should spend time and money on each trip to replace a product that is not a security risk? That is not practical nor logical.

but it is a security risk.

So if I mail it, it will take days for me to receive and by then I could be on my next trip. That just isn't practical nor is it cost effective. I guess that you just don't understand how many business travelers operate.

yeah, they value their money over their safety? its not necesary.
