We are missing some facts here. They guy may we'll have had some knives; maybe he went knife shopping? How many and what kind? Were these knives packaged or were they ready to plunged into an unsuspecting person's body? And how long were the blades? COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 185/2010 makes it clear that blades no longer than 6cm are acceptable on flights and Duty-free in LSGG do a roaring trade in Swiss Army knives to departing passengers. As far as I am concerned, this is just another example of "Sh!tty Britain".
