Box cutters ? Either box cutters are THE tool of the (terrorist) trade... or:
1- Someone at the airport is using box cutters in their normal and customary practice, therefore they are plentiful and inconspicuous, permitting access to them and not drawing attention to their presence...
2- Bull malarkey... as in, if agents of terror are going to plant weapons onboard an airline these days, they better have more than a box cutter on them as they will be pummeled senseless by any item available to the crews, the passengers and in a scenario such as this, the ventilating devices that the US Air Marshalls happen to be packing.
I'd tend to buy this story (only slightly more) if ceramic daggers or knives were discovered hidden in the overhead bins.
