Well I guess I see this differently. Yes I feel bad for the poor lady, and yes they should have the fine thing posted and the fine is a bit steep blah blah blah...
BUT didn't she pack her own bag? If she was in doubt she should have checked it out before she got to the airport. What would have happened if she got on the plane with it ( yes it can still happen) then wanted a candy bar out of her carry-on bag and the *knife* fell out? I can tell you what would have happened the whole plane would have gone ape Sh%t! Before she could say anything she would have been thrown to the floor and sat upon. If I were on the plane I would have been one of the people sitting on her. Then the plane would have been escorted by fighter planes to the nearest airport all because she FORGOT.
We live in a different world after 9-11 WE CAN NOT BE TOO CAREFUL no matter how much of a pain in the butt it is for us. We need to think certain things through a little better and then think it through again just to be sure.

Or course we can be TOO CAREFUL. This is an example of it. I say F#*@ TSA and the airlines. Let 'em rot.
