That's somewhat true. Make something idiot proof and they'll build a better idiot... it's a long time motto of mine that holds true in other cases... make something terror proof and they'll find another way. We will never get rid of terrorism 100%. It's existed since the dawn of civilized humanity, and it will continue as long as we're around. Sadly, I don't know the exact quote, but something to the effect of, those willing to sacrifice freedom for security deserve neither. It's true! Like someone above mentioned... you can be strangled fairly easily with a shoelace... should they be banned? My car keys could be extremely dangerous... should they be checked? What about my necklace? A watch? I'm a US Army Combat Engineer... I could pack enough C4 into a small watch to cause havoc on a plane... those should be banned as well. Radios? Laptops? A wallet? wallets could be lined with explosives. They could have a small pouch of Anthrax in them that could be tossed into ventilation. Four books of matches? There's toilet paper in the bathroom right? Isn't it flamable? Why smear gas from a lighter and light it (it'd burn out pretty fast). Why not light the whole bathroom on fire? Pens and pencils are allowed... they could be used to stab you. Technically, you could make a small, single-use gun out of a larger pen. Or make a blow gun out of several pentubes in 2 or 3 minutes while sitting in the bathroom. A poisoned blow gun dart or two could send a plane into panic.
I could go on for pretty much hours listing possibilities that are TRULY viable, and also would be ridiculous to give up as freedoms. Soon you'll be able to go to the airport, strip, put on a hospital gown and board the plane. *boggle*
