One thing is to wake up those folks doing the carry-on x-ray.
After hearing that the hijackers used box knives and plastic knives I checked my briefcase: amoung the contents: Swiss army knife with 5cm blade(kinda sharp) one of those disposable knives with the snap off blades with about 10cm of VERY sharp blade left. (tools of the trade, leather goods. From the sound of it I am at least as well armed as the hijackers.
Now, what's scary is in the past month, carrying these two objects, I've been through security at LAX,TPE,HKG,BKK,CAN, and not once even been challenged by security. Oh yeah, they checked at one airport to make sure my cellphone was real.
Television here said if they weren't doing airport security, these people would be flippin' burgers at McDonalds. When I heard that statement last night, I thought it was rather mean and crude. Now to think of it, I'm not so sure.
