Sheesh.
I guess nobody meant that. However, one of the primary rules in first aid is also the safety of the "first aidee". And with such basic and cheap things it should really not be an issue on a commercial transportation device (aka plane). I had more stuff in my car (when I had one) than it seems was provided to the people involved. As was said above: the availabiliuty of these items might also influence someones decision making on if to intervene or keep quiet...!
