And just snipping this all to heck - does anyone know what "Airplane
Security" has cost us in the USA? I can't imagine. But I do donate a pair
of school scissors to the cause every time I travel, maybe all the
security
is worth that much.

I saw a United Captain getting a serious double check since he had (gasp) a
pair of baby scissors (with the round tip) for trimming his moustache - of
course once he is behind the reinforced door with the fire axe in the
cockpit (used to chop his way out in an accident), a taser and or handgun,
he could have attacked the co-pilot with it . . . a serious weapon to be
sure -
