I have 2 points to make <BR> <BR>- it ain't a spork.......it's a runcible spoon. <BR>- wanna get a plastic knive? Just go to any of the food courts at the airports(after you've cleared security) and help yourself........better yet...go into to Staples at several airports - lots of good stuff in there...

I'll tell you this, that's great that they have forbidden plastic knives and all, but, they need to arm us pilots still... I mean, you know, you can scoop someone's eyeballs out with a spoon, you know... And, what about those sporks? It's all fun, until someone pokes an eye out... <BR> <BR>Deeply Concerned.

To whomever mentioned Staples... <BR> <BR>You're absolutely right... The weaponry we sell here is _unimaginable_... I mean, what do you expect from a company that _actually_ flaunts the sale of a device that injects metal shards _THROUGH_ objects. It's only a matter of time before some tragedy involving a hijacker taking over a plane with a stapler, or perhaps a "ball point" pen.

You know, now that I think about it, every now and then, I get injured using the "paper" that they sell here... And, I think something should be done about it... As far as I know "paper" is still being allowed, I've gotten some pretty nasty paper cuts, and yet, they are sold by the ream in this store... (As a side note, are there paper detectors on flights?)

Oh!!! in the words of Shakespere "that comforth me marvelously much!!" Now I can put my mind at east and not worry about the nut in the next isle that is a mental case and thrice as big as his father and the captain put together, or the arab with the funny looking "belt" around his middle. Oh, yes, and don't forget to check your nail clippers, and finger nail files, probably the dental floss ought to go (could strangle someone possible) Why don't we get real folks, about security. Do like they do in Israel? Now That IS SECURITY!!

On my last flight with my two sons, aged 13 and 15, the younger one discovered the twist tie attached to the barf bag can be peeled, wrapped around your finger and become an effective tool with which to inflict pain upon your brother.

Why don't we do like they do in Israel??? Because they have ONE airport with 34 flights a day, and we have more than a hundred airports with 34 flights in 10 mins. Delays there are two hours, so, here you'd have to camp out 18 hours before the flight. That's why...

Just flew on American from Boston and we had plastic knives.

I flew in Sunday Rome-Paris-Boston on Air France. Plastic knives, real forks & spoons. Go figure!
