No, I have dealt with knives. But we're not talking about knives here. Boxcutters are one-inch razors. And 4 men with boxcutters aren't going to subdue 100+ avg Americans traveling on business (younger, motivated, alert people). Just doesn't happen that way. Americans trounced the British in two wars and saved them in two others, so I'm sure a planeload of Americans would be able...no, GLAD...to take down 4 turds armed with nothing but attitudes. Oh, and one-inch razors. That made my day. A Brit who's been convinced a boxcutter is...lol. Your bobbies are blowing your brains out on the trains, and you're convinced boxcutters are enormously dangerous. lol. Oh, man. You Brits ARE the masters of comedy.

But seriously, what I can't understand is why the people at Heathrow were made to pour out their liquids. Isn't that how it happened? Liquids weren't just handed over, the possessor had to open the container and dump it. That's what I read. And if the "officials" were scared of terrorists mixing chemicals to concoct something explosive or toxic, then why were they dumping all that stuff down the same drain? Did anyone think of that? And if that's the way it happened, then why did it happen that way?
