Seriously though, the answer seems to be "yeah when we get the new model X scanners...." But I was kind of wondering about right now.
Don't think that they've abandoned the idea of using planes just because the doors are barred to the cockpit. And these knives seem very capable of cutting a throat and definitely capable of stabbing.
As most of you know I am NOT in favor of banning objects. Not my intent here. I just wish the U.S. Gov would take this Sh*T seriously and spend the money to get security to where it SHOULD be:grumpy:
Just recently reporters from a major newspaper smuggled various weapons onto planes--(including handguns IIRC)and were only detected in 30% of the security checks. Not positive about my percentages, but it was a high % that got weapons onto the planes. If you can get small arms on, you can get small bombs on too...
Americans need to change the way we do things. here's the pattern as I see it: 1)event happens 2)big uproar and securtity crackdown 3)within one year or less the public starts to forget and pretend that the threat is gone. "I mean, hey! its been like a year and nothings happened so...." Stupid!
They STILL don't have the technology in place in our major airports to check all our checked baggage--you know, the stuff that rides under your ass when you fly through the air! LESS than 10% gets checked folks!! You don't think Osama watches CNN? Think again.
I guess here's my bottom line: everybody's always chanting "NEVER FORGET 9/11!" and I agree! But that slogan DOES NOT only mean "don't forget the fallen" it ALSO means "Don't forget to PREVENT and PROTECT" against another disaster.
