Free Knives On Flights!?

metal butter knive on international flightsMe and Mrs. Ancholy hopped on a plane a couple of days ago with Continental Airlines.  It was an international flight so they fed us.  BTW have you noticed how small these meals are getting?

When they served us our food they gave us a fork to eat it with and get this, they gave us a KNIFE!  I kid you not!  It wasn’t made of plastic either.  They gave everyone on board a metal knife!

I am assuming that there is no longer any threat that can happen from having a knife on board a plane.  The only threat is that a terrorist would threaten somebody on board other than the captain.

What do you think?  Should airlines serve metal knives with their food or just stick to plastic?

PS: The terrorist threat level was orange on the day we flew and I can’t help but think that Continental is to blame ;-)

I think they ought to issue loaded handguns to all passengers and flight attendants as well. Then if someone decides to use theirs to hijack the plane everybody can get in on the action. Gunfight in the O.K. Intercontinental.

Sounds great! So long as the cockpit is bullet proof! I wouldn't want the captain to get hurt just in case I survived the gun fight. I would want to at least land safely :)

To heck with the cockpit. The trouble begins when bullets start piercing the fuselage and depressurizing the cabin

Oh yeah. Those also!
