Here is a link to a 90 page FBI document showing a variety of concealable weapons.
Ever since 9/11, I've thought that most of the airport security nonsense was just a placebo, meant to reassure the populace that it was "safe" to travel. That PDF showing me knife after knife that could be slipped past security convinces me even more. Remember that the 9/11 hijackers used boxcutters, not guns.
Perhaps the "Arizona" solution is correct, in that the real way to prevent hijacking is not through more airport security but through arming the pilots, and perhaps the passengers.
Either way, I'd rather we spent the billions of the TSA budget elsewhere, perhaps even Iraq.
