Crump: A National Security Threat?

At the end of my junior year in college, my roommate Mark and I boxed up our belongings and put them in storage, then boarded the same plane at the San Francisco airport - I was headed for Pocatello, Mark to Denver - on a flight through Salt Lake City. While we were putting our stuff in cardboard boxes earlier, I had lent Mark my knife - a spring-assisted Swiss-made model - to cut packing tape. He stuffed the knife into his pocket, forgot about it and walked on the airplane. This was long before the age of elaborate airport security, and nobody would have been the wiser had Mark not bent over to pick his keys off the floor of the aisle of the plane. The knife fell out of his pocket and landed at the feet of a flight attendant/ Steve Crump , Twin Falls Times-News. More here .

Question: Do you carry a pocketknife — and, therefore, are a possible threat to national security?
