Remove your belt buckle (it has a pointy thing), remove all pens and pencils, remove tweezers, don't allow syringes, we could play the sharp game forever....

After paying 700 bucks for a seat would you be okay with eating your steak with a plastic fork and knife? I wouldn't get into a fight with a knife....but I would defend myself...there's a difference. I would just like to prevent terrorists altogether...which could easily be done...but it would be "profiling" and that might hurt people's feelings. During ALL the years pocket knives were allowed fodder, how many airplane stabbings were there? Never agree with Chucky Schmuck...he's evil.

So, remove the metal forks. Airline food sucks anyway. I, for one, would prefer to prevent a knife/fork fight on an airplane in the first place. Just ask a flight attendent.

They planted box cutters, not pocket knives. Pocket knives were allowed when they planted the cutters. Confiscating pocket knives from elderly old men, who ALWAYS have a Swiss pocket knife on them out of habit, isn't helping anything. If First Class can have a fork...I want a knife. I'm not dangerous, but I would like to be able to defend myself if Alec Baldwin goes off on a nut or if someone is coming at me with a fork, or a box cutter. (Wait...box cutters aren't allowed...they never were.) Hmmmmmm.

Won't have to bother planting them anymore.

First Class has stainless steel forks.

Those were planted by other terrorists. Who's been stabbed with a pocket knife?

The 9-11 hijackers killed those flight crews with blades even shorter than this.

Why shouldn't they allow pocket knives?
