This kind of idiocy just cracks me up ('cause crying at my age is rather embarrassing):

Charles Slepian, an aviation security consultant based in New York, said the TSA's proposed changes fail to take into account the safety of passengers and cabin crew. "Whenever you are serving alcohol, you have a double duty to those who are present to protect them from someone who goes off the deep end," Slepian said. "If we allow people to carry things that are really deadly weapons on board airplanes, we're inviting trouble."

So don't serve alcohol. Yes, people can drink before they get on a plane, but the airline can also prevent intoxicated people from boarding. Isn't it interesting how the root cause of the problem is completely overlooked?

And the aisles "running with blood" bit.. that's just sad. Flight attendants flew in cabins full of sharp objects before 9/11 with no problem. Why now is it such a big deal?
