“the reason they are allowing the knives on is that they can’t breach the cockpit with them.”

Didn’t the terrorists on flight 93 hold passengers hostage threatning to use knives and razors and THAT is how they gained access to the cockpit? or am I out in left field?

They didn’t just threaten the hostages, they slit the throats of the stewardesses.

Banning knives on flights never made much sense when you realize they flew first class which gave them each a knife with their meal.

Yes, but cockpits were not reinforced then.
