I know in our international airport, they allowed knives, but prevented
Ulu's from being carried on board. I don't understand the logic used there.
These are Native alaskan knives that they sell in gift shops all around
Alaska, and in the airport. Here's a picture

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.
> How am I supposed to cut that thing that passes for chicken dinner?
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.
