I know it’s just me, but I happen to think that airplanes would be safer if ~everybody~ on board had a knife (or insert weapon here).
The planes on 9/11 weren’t hijacked because there were too many weapons on those planes. They were hijacked because there were too FEW weapons on those planes.
If it were up to me, I’d put little bats ...like those bat-night bats you get at baseball games, in the seat-back pockets of every airplane. About the size of a fish kerbanger. Give those things to two hundred and fifty passengers on a 757 and I can pretty much guarantee that ~that~ plane will not be hijacked and used as a missile.

You’ll laugh, but when I fly (not often) I always carry a couple of verrrrry sharp pencils with me. Husband does the same. A very sharp pencil will go right into something ... soft.
