Not all are pleased though.
But flight attendants say even small knives present a real threat. Stacy Martin, president of the Southwest Airlines Flight Attendants Union, said, "When you look back before 9/11, all it took was box cutters coming through. At this point you have knives, small knives, it's all the same to us." http://m.cbsnews.com/fullstory.rbml?catid=57572752&feed_id=999&videofeed=999
Well, incursions upon freedom are all the same to many too. But the reasoning is these items couldnt be used to take control of the aircraft; could someone hijack an airplane with a wine key's foil cutter? A lacrosse stick? Does anyone fear that those items pose a threat to passengers/staff?
