Security
Just a thought. We all now get our food with plastic knifes, but they still use metal forks.
I checked in for a flight at "X" airport in USA, went through rigorous screening and then went into the lounge.
The was an abundance of metal knifes to use, all of which could be put in your pocket or bag for the flight.
There was no more screening from the lounge to boarding the plane.
Is this something that I should advise the airport I flew from about ??

No -- the forks are usually much sharper than the knives anyway.
The whole "dull airline knives are no longer allowed" thing is a joke. I can do just as much damage to you with a metal pen which is allowed as with a metal knife which is not allowed.

.Forks can be just as dangerous as knives... but banning any utensil from a plane is ridiculous.
