Case in point; Patrick Smith, an airline pilot, attempted to include in his carry-on luggage a small knife that came from an airline meal.

A TSA supervisor refused to allow the knife through the security check, because the 5-inch long knife was serrated. 

As Patrick pointed out on his blog post at Salon, he was supposed to fly the plane. If he wanted to do some damage, he doesn’t need a knife.
