Like that'd do the job anyways - how many other ways can YOU come up with to get the Evil Sharpened Credit Card Weapon onto your next flight?

Judge Browning's opinion United States v. Davis, 482 F.2d 893 (CA9, 1973) is still the yardstick AFAIK:
...a screening of passengers and of the articles that will be accessible to them in flight does not exceed constitutional limitations provided that the screening process is no more extensive nor intensive than necessary, in the light of current technology, to detect the presence of weapons or explosives, that it is confined in good faith to that purpose, and that potential passengers may avoid the search by electing not to fly.
The provision rider seems to be widely ignored by the TSA (and their tame LEOs); they count on few, if any, passengers willing to confront them over it. DYW2FT.
