What I'm trying to say is, is it really a good idea to allow knifes on board after 9/11?

If anyone can bring a knife of sorts onto a plane, that also includes possibly terrorists,
and not just terrorists, but people who might be unstable. Why take that risk factor?

Few have mentioned the brave action onboard United 93, but really, if a terrorist
or terrorists, want to kill Americans, they can just take a few knives, get their
way to the cockpit and either fly to a target or crash if the passengers try to something.

I know cockpits are locked, but can the crew handle it, if the hijackers start
killing people, unless they can get access to the cockpit? Maybe, maybe not.

Any way I watch at the decision, I see the *possibility* that something goes wrong and an unnecessary risk.

I'm just trying to understand what is the point of allowing knifes onto planes, that's all. Because I cant come up with any reason.
