safer? possibly. however, even if you stop people from taking blades on an airplane, you can't stop them from taking (wallet) chains, a cane, or the easiest weapon of all to conceal - their hands and feet - on the plane. though if the government actually was serious about cracking down on the drug dealers and criminals (think Boondock Saints), then I'd feel a helluva lot safer.
