TSA= Tragically Stupid Assholes.
Oh, this is too good.. I open to look at the comment, and a Google Ads is at the top, with a link to learn how to be a TSA scanner… I almost thought it was a joke…

Meanwhile, every time I fly, I do so with:
(1) A Fisher Space Pen - basically a solid titanium rod with a sharp point, and a round plastic base which turns it into a “push dagger”
(2) A thick leather belt with a grommet in the end, and a large steel padlock - combine the 2 and one has a flail-weapon fit for a berzerker. Loop the belt through the buckle before inserting lock. Insert hand in loop. Throw lock with max force right into Mohammed’s face, catch a couple of more turns around the hand then proceed to beat him to death with the lock.
(3) A hame-top cane - Google the phrase or just think “1.5-inch thick solid hickory shaft with a chromed steel doorknob on the end.” I’ve knocked holes in a cinder-block wall with this thing.
The ONLY thing that ever got a second look from TSA is the cane - and nobody’s going to tell that crippled guy that he can’t keep his cane…
It’s all stupid.
Honestly, the whole “boxcutter” thing is what made me question 9-11 to start with - I just can’t see a plane-load of people letting those clowns take over with nothing more than boxcutters…

DD ... well. If you consider how narrow those isles are, and those guys were more then likely trained and in good physical shape, how many folks would be able to take on a guy with a razor? One or two at time I should think. Add to that we don’t know exactly what sort of defense or defensive position those bastards had going for them.
I have wondered myself from the beginning how it was possible but can only assume as I’ve written here.
