Nope, I would estimate that easily more than half of boxcutters and small knives get by us... and I'm not too worried about it. Passengers will do a good job of showing the nutcase just where those devices belong if he's stupid enough to yank it out on the plane.</font>

and that's why all of this nonsense about the TSA confiscating "weapons" such as box cutters, knitting needles, cuticle scissors, etc., is just soooooooo ridiculous.

This artlicle is a wake up call, that John Mica is not a friend of the TSA. By the way if someone stood up today with a box cutter and said I am taking the plane over, this person would be jumped and would have the crap beat out of him.
I wounder why they didn't try a gun. Want to know why they are easy to find. This is nothing more than a gotcha from a partizan hack. That Hack being Senator Mica.
