plastic knives back?
I flew a trip ONT-BOS over the last week -- out to Boston on Saturday and back yesterday, upgraded on all legs. Flying east, the knives at both lunch and dinner were metal, on last night's return flight (meal only on the BOS-MSP leg), the plastic knives were back. Is this a BOS thing, or has the security level risen resulting in safe knives.

It seems to be very mixed--sometimes plastic, sometimes metal. I never understood the "security" issue over the metal knives, anyway. Those things can't even cut cheesecake.

You guys are not being serious about this. In the right hands these could be weapons of meal destruction.

What I find amazing is that when metal knives were taken off the planes they were put in the World Clubs

That's why for security reasons I stopped visiting Worldclubs
