JPs Boxcutter Derail thread

[gumboot]

It's worth noting (I'm sure someone has) that "boxcutters" were only mentioned in one call.

In other calls they said "knives".

This thread reminds me of Graham Greene's classic novel, Brighton Rock, about the razor gangs. Pinky and co. used the old style barber's cut-throat razors - as sharp and as potentially dangerous as a box cutter. I certainly wouldn't argue with anyone wielding either weapon.

I would - if 21 feet away, and .357 in my hand already.

The passenger stabbed on AA11 was Daniel Lewin , an Israeli-American
computer company founder. Lewin was a veteran of Israeli Army Special
Forces (Sayeret Matkal) was stabbed from behind by hijacker Satam Sequami
seated directly behind him. Still think "boxcutters" aren't lethal. Several
knives were recovered from wreckage of Flight 93, included is knife
concealed in cigarette lighter and "Leatherman" tool.

I've been in a fight with a guy who had a Utility knife and I can attest that if they hit the right area Blood will flow and it will hurt. Odds are Avery and Co. have never been in a fight with someone who seriously wanted to hurt them.

With their personalities, I find that hard to believe.

Flight 77 is, if I revall Popular Mechanics correctly, the only plane where those were used- and they were used in combination with other knives.
