I sure hope Grandma didn't automatically shift to the other lane!

Thinking on the broken wine glass, I've long thought it strange that airlines have banished metal flatware and confiscated nail clippers and the like, but still allow other potentially dangerous items. Plastic flatware, for example can put out an eye and maybe worse. Not that I'm going to try, but considering one of the Sept 11 hijackers sucessfully threatened the crew with a box cutter... I'd have rather risked a nasty gash or loss of copius amounts of blood to letting those guys get access to the cockpit. ...Tiff over.

Hope your holidays are happy.
