This supports my long suspicion that the reason for TSA was not security--- after all, who's going to take a plane down with fingernail clippers? But an escalation of the drug war. 9/11 just provided an excuse.
(And by the way, does anyone know where the idea that 9/11 planes were hijacked with box cutters came from anyway? Since all the planes were destroyed, how could anyone know?)
Think we'll ever see murder charges as a result of this death? Somehow, I doubt it.
