Well done Dave. Obviously a LOT of people probably started to get worked up over that. I wish I were going. If I were, I would have been more bothered. I typically carry about 3 knives daily and I do NOT like to "relinquish" my knives to some security office.
I would imagine packing them back to a car or hotel would be a PITA and waste of a lot of time for many.
I don't fly much, but I hate it now because I don't like to be without my knives.
At Blade, I would think many like to carry quite a few just to show to friends.
