Great point. A tire iron is a far more dangerous weapon than a 2 inch pocket knife. So is a baseball bat. Heck, the car itself is a much deadlier weapon.
I also think it’s ridiculous that they confiscate pen knives when entering gov’t buildings, etc.
What about a 4th degree black belt?
You gonna take his pen knife so that everyone in the building is safer?
You gonna handcuff him and put him in leg irons to enter the building?
