The news reports that I saw tonight said that fingernail clippers, cuticle scissors, and plastic dinner knives would be confiscated at the security checkpoint. If we are really so passive that someone could hijack a plane using fingernail clippers, then we are already lost. Effective action to increase security is a good thing, but this nonsense is making things more dangerous by encouraging us to be more passive in the face of evil.

I dont think anyone will ever be passive again! Prior to 5 days ago when you thought of Hijacking you thought of a long wait on the tarmac with the pilot yelling out demands from the window.

Now if anyone tries to Hijack a plane again they will have to face 20 men who would rather die then be slammed into a public building.

I know I would.

that's what i'm saying. to be honest, i'd rather all the ccp, trained and law-abiding, honest firearms owners wouldn't leave their piece in the suv when they go to the aiport and rather make my flight safer. unreal.

I have to agree with you. Now that we know cooperating will not save any lives, I find it highly unlikely that any group of passengers would ever allow themselves to be hijacked again. If the hijackers don't outnumber the passengers and crew by at least 3 to 1, those hijackers will never live to accomplish their mission.

Better believe it. I just left JFK and security confiscated a "gimme" sewing kit (needle, thread, and buttons) that I had forgot about having in my bag.
