No one has said that people wouldn't try to cut someone or otherwise make such an attack. The thing we've said, repeatedly--though no one seems to be listening--is that such attacks will accomplish nothing. No hijacking, no conversion of the plane to a guided missile, etc.
And mind you, too, that the case cited is not applicable to 99.999% of commercial aviation. We're talking about a plane without a cockpit door, for crying out loud.
