Undetectable Knife
The knife shown below, undetectable by x-ray, was confiscated by Los Angeles airport security on February 6, 2002 after a physical search of a passenger's carry-on bag.
The knife is sharp, and can be used as a weapon.
The knife is imprinted with the phrase "Tactical Letter Opener" and it belonged to the man shown in this passport:
The knife was distributed free of charge to attendees at a Las Vegas gun show.
The day after 9-11, KGOV.com had the following quote in its response to the terrorist attack:
"Airline Security: The hijackings were not a failure of airport security personnel, but were a failure of security strategy!
Hijackers will always be able to get weapons of some type onto airplanes, even ceramic or plastic knives invisible to metal detectors.
Pilots should be armed and crewmembers should have access to weapons.
As on Israel's El Al airlines, undercover armed security guards should fly, at least on random flights.
Also, police and government officials should fly armed.
This type of hijacking would not have succeeded on El Al."
