How about a little 5-pack of crayons for each passenger? (seriously -kind of- pens and pencils are at least as bad as nail files. A kid stabbed me in the back with a pen in Jr High, so I know from experience!)

Not only that, but you could get lead poisoning ;-).

When I was in school, I remember several cases where kids were worried about lead poisoning due to pencil injuries. Ignorance is not always bliss.

Of course, graphite poisoning is even worse. Graphite is used in *nuclear* reactors.

Don't forget that the pen is mightier than the sword. Ban pens from all flights immediately!
