I'd have to say "Amen Brother"

I still can't figure out why a set of nail clippers or a pocket knife is suppose to be so threatening. Does someone actually believe that a guy shaking a pair of knitting needles at plane load of Americans is NOT going to get his ass totally stompped!?

What has our post 9/11 society come to when we shake in fear from a guy weilding a deadly pair of scissors?

Granted - prior to 9/11 - conventional thought due to previous incidents was to 'go along with a hijacker' and eventually get released. I don't think anyone is willing to barter that angle anymore.
