    Would it not be better to eliminate the people who stab other people with sharp pointed knives?

    Yes but prevention is better than cure, and how would you detect who will do such a thing.

    I'm getting tired of security at the airport, There's too much of it. I'm tired of some fat chick with a double-digit IQ and a triple-digit income rootin' around inside my bag for no reason and never finding anything. Haven't found anything yet. Haven't found one bomb in one bag. And don't tell me, "Well, the terrorists know their bags are going to be searched, so now they're leaving their bombs at home." There are no bombs! The whole thing is fuckin' pointless'

    And it's completely without logic. There's no logic at all. They'll take away a gun but let you keep a knife. Well, what the fuck is that? In fact, there's a whole list of lethal objects they allow you to take on board. Theoretically, you could take a knife, an ice pick, a hatchet, a straight razor, a pair of scissors, a chain saw, six knitting needles and a broken whiskey bottle, and the only thing they would say to you is, "That bag has to fit all the way under the seat in front of you."

    And if you didn't take a weapon on board, relax. After you've been flying for about an hour, they're gonna bring you a knife and fork! They actually give you a fucking knife. It's only a table knife, but you could kill a pilot with a table knife. It might take a couple of minutes.

    Especially if he's hefty. But you could get the job done. If you really wanted to kill the prick. Shit, there are a lot of things you could use to kill a guy. You could probably beat a guy to death with the Sunday New York Times, couldn't you? Suppose you just have really big hands. Couldn't you strangle a flight attendant? Shit, you could probably strangle two of them, one with each hand. That is, if you were lucky enough to catch 'em in that little kitchen area. Just before they break out the fuckin' peanuts. But you could get the job done. If you really cared enough.

    Get rid of the ones that do it. Then they wont breed more. There is also the fear factor that may prevent the use.

    There's a good idea.

    You kill one of your family, then give yourself up.
    They lock you up.
    Meanwhile they get rid of the rest of your family.
    You get out after 10 years.
    You are the only one left in your family so you inherit everything.

    When does this scheme start?

    ...while they are at it, all rolling-pins should be banned to, not to mention the rotisserie pins...

    Just following your breeding comment to it's logical conclusion. If it is down to breeding, the rest of the family must be just as bad so it makes sense to get rid of them too. Breeding obvious if you ask me.

    It was sugested by a rich doctor who probably never cook for themselves.

    What's so unreasonable? No one needs a kitchen knife for utility
    purposes. Kitchen knives are designed to cut pieces of flesh in quick succession
    with razor sharp or serrated blades. Blades that can kill a police officer before
    he can draw his club. There is no need for these dangerous weapons to be on
    our streets. Kitchen knives should be licensed and registered with serial numbers
    only to people like chefs that actually need to have them.
