Surprisingly, millions of passengers carry deadly weapons on flights every week, without the least bit of scrutiny by security screeners.
The deadly weapon most commonly found on these would-be secret muslim al Qaeda terrorists: 22ยข Bic Stic pen. Dear lord, they sell these harbingers of death and destruction for $1.37 a dozen!
I thought that this was an urban legend until talking CQB to some instructors at USAJFKSWCS (similar information was provided by instructors at Quantico). There's five or six ways that an unmodified Bic pen can be used to quickly kill or incapacitate, and a couple more, if you have a rubber band. Seriously.
