So I'm at the dentists thumbing through U.S. NEWS and come across a story on the last 2 pages about "the dark side of tinkering".Its about how bad guys can turn everyday items into weapons of terror.
Well it talks about box cutters and how there an everyday type of USEFULL item used by people everyday and that 100's of technical people probably flew with them in their briefcases on 9/11 yet they caused no trouble.It even goes on about the dangers of NOT having a blade on an airplane!!!(emergency tracheotomy)
It even goes as far as saying that removing or banning such items does little to stop the BG,only hamper the honest.
Hey,its a start.
