1. i personally have never bought into the 'boxcutter' theory
four jets brought down with small, sharp objects? i don't think so.

2. Are people THAT cowardly?
Of course, people also run each other down and over just to get a new low-end built-to-break model laptop that's $100 lower than the usual price?

3. Some dumb woman on CNN just said
that some people can kill anyone with just their hands.

So do we cut their hands off before they board?:)

4. it's true, you could bring down a jet with just your bare hands
if you were really determined.

Star Wars should have detected the cave men with the WMD. Where did the bad guy get that magic passport? Ali Babble and the 40 cons tell some tall tales!

7. This has been driving me crazy since it happened...
I don't care HOW determined and crazy someone is, box-cutters have to be the most inefficient weapon ever invented. I could whoop ass on someone with a box-cutter with a rolled-up magazine.

It just smells funny, that's all...
