They have also said no knives past the security checkpoints period.
However, once inside the security, you can go to Chili's or another
restaurant and order a steak and they will give you a knife.. The logistics
are very difficult on doing this (Possibly another metal detector at the
gate???)
Yes the ticket prices will go up and Americans will be willing to pay them
for a while. Yet we Americans also have a notoriously short memory, and
will start to get tired of paying the higher prices and going through the
inconveniences. After two or three years of the hassle of safety with
nothing happening, we are going to start asking 'Why are we going through
all this trouble? What happened was YEARS ago. And nothing has happened
since.'
Just my 1/2 cent worth.

Of course. Witness Tuesday's events.

Granted that weapons can always be improvised. Failing anything else, a
fist makes a passable weapon against even a knife. However, I still think
banning any weapon or cutting implement has some advantages. First, I don't
think we should make it any easier for the bad guys. Second, there is a
physiological impact when someone holds up something designed to cut. A man
with a knife is a terrorist. A man with a broken CD is a crazy person.

I dunno about you, but I have never been able to cut it with those plastic
objects that pass for knifes, so nothing lost there. ;-)

Defense in depth.
Every additional hurdle is one more place they might get caught.

No, it jumped to 10,000 innocent people dead. :-(
If $100 per ticket is all it costs to prevent this from happening again, I
will gladly pay it.

Yes.
