Who is it that decides just what might constitute a weapon on an airline? Does all this search and seizure really make us safer when locked together in the air?
Not only do they not take away your eye glasses with those dangerous pieces of glass which could shatter and blind you in event of a crash, but they do not take away knitting needles. Nor do they take away leather belts which could be wrapped around the neck of pushy flight attendants. Shoes, held firmly by the toe, make great clubs. Carry on bags, often weighing as much as their owners, can be yanked out of the over head and slammed into people's heads. Those little trays are so flimsy that they can be ripped off and used as shields while you are wielding your white cane as a sword. And then there are those huge refreshment carts. When they pass by, just jump up and grab the end and begin charging down the aisle. You should be able to make it all the way to first class.
I tell you, those airplanes are death traps.
