So, the plane never took off. But did the passengers ever board??

I talked about this before. I do not beleive this is the only plane where box cutters were found.

I think that there were operatives working for airports or airlines that place them there.

A hijacker did not even have to smuggle them on board -- they were there waiting for him.

Someone left me a note about the Air Canada story and included a comment that boxcutters were found on a Delta flight from Atlanta and a United flight from Dallas. I suppose this was reported on the radio. I'm not sure.

Either way, you're right in remembering that boxcutters were found elsewhere, on other 'grounded' flights. I destinctly recall that myself.
