At a conference I attended last weekend, a woman from CT said they took a 3" pair of plastic scissors (little kid type) away from her purse. And they took from the elderly woman behind her a hand mirror, with nicely engraved handle, that she'd been carrying for decades.

And they threw them away. No recourse, no discussion. The old lady was in tears.

Yep, this'll reassure and attract new customers to the airlines. Morons.

"No big deal." Just paranoia costing a lot of people 3-1/4 hours of their lives that they'll never get back, because bureaucrats can't think to save their asses.

To hell with this attitude. Airlines need to regain some common sense before they die, and terrorists need to be killed ASAP. Period. We're Americans, dammit; this crap must stop. I have no plans to fly, and will make none, until it does.

And one could still get multiple razor-sharp ceramic / composite knives onboard with absolutly no chance of getting caught. A disposable razor, a pen and a tube of crazy glue would have the same effect.

The FAA, responsible for the tremendous breakdown of security, is now rushing to "do something". Mineta and Co. should be fired and tried for being accomplices to murder.

God help us.
