History of Weapons on Airplanes

[cerulean]

Here's a link to a great article. "FIREARMS, THE FOURTH AMENDMENT, AND AIR CARRIER SECURITY" by Stephen P. Halbrook: www.saf.org/LawReviews/HalbrookAirSecurity.html

Despite its title, the article talks about the legislative history of all kinds of weapons aboard aircraft. There is a lot of interesting discussion about knives; what kind of knives should be allowed, what makes a particular knife a weapon, and so on.
