1. You can take a butane lighter on too :)

Odd practice for a country who insists that evildoers who hate freedom hijack planes.

2. I don't buy it

My belt buckle and shoes set off the metal detector. I can't believe a box cutter will get through.....Sounds like BS to me...

4. Not BS at all. I've done it as recently as this month

I mistakenly put my 4 inch automatic pocket knife into my carryon bag instead of my checked bag. (btw, automatic = switch blade)

At the xray machine, they ran my carryon bag through twice because the first time they said the image was cutoff.

When I arrived at my destination, I throught at first that someone stole my knife out of my checked bag (its an expensive knife)..

It wasnt until later that I found it in my checked bag that I realized that it had slipped through security.

And let me tell you, this knife is a hella lot more deadly than any box cutter.

If I can accidently smuggle aboard a rather large fighting knife, a terrorist sure as hell can do it intentionally.

3. How about those in-flight magazines?

I've had some serious paper cuts in my day.

5. Making planes more resistant to hijackers should have been...

...the number one priority for all in government after 9/11.

Before finding Bin Laden
Before arresting possible terrorists
Before...just about everything!

Instead, the administration chooses to spend $ billions invading a country with remote ties to the event on 9/11.

blah!

9. the people on the plane that crashed in PA made planes safer

than anything that has happened since.

6. No luggage

no clothes, no paper, 24 hours in pre and post flight security observation, hands chained behind your back, feet ching together, hannibal mask, armed guards, and no people other than white people on planes, *lol* thats the only way to make flights 100% safe, and i'm not for it, if the terrorists want to hi-jack a plane with me on it, thier gonna hafta fight me, and i assure you that box cutters and switch blades wont stop me.

7. Ass and Boxcutter side by side is just creepy.

Trust me when I say you do not want to go there!

I think that there are very few who acutally think we are safer now than we were before. I do think there are a lot of people who have figured out how to beat the system now that never really thought about it before.

Makes me feel a whole lot LESS safe, frankly.
