well I'm not sure how you'd get a metal knife to be able to bypass a metal detector in an airport.
And if someone's carrying a plastic switchblade around, they're out to kill someone. They're going to get one whether its legal or not.
And whether the bans are practical or not, it's still a hypocracy to say that guns can't be banned because of the 2nd amendment, but knives can. Either we have the right to bear arms or we don't. As I said, whether the 2nd guarantees an individual the right to carry a weapon or not is a rather hot debate right now, with strong arguments on both sides. But neither side says the 2nd applies to one weapon and not another. Either you ban 'em all, or you don't ban any of 'em.
