This.
However, would everyone being permitted their pocket knife or pepper spray be all that dangerous? I gave my ex-girlfriend both a few years ago, in case she ever was in a situation where she needed to protect herself.
Now, I understand and had no hard feelings when it was taken from her when she was going to fly down to Florida--safety first, right? But I think it's the same thing as with carrying firearms; that "the bad guys" are going to carry things they "aren't supposed to" while the rest of the population don't. One prepared bad guy vs some unarmed people? or, One prepared bad guy vs a group of prepared citizens? I think my chances are better in the latter scenario.
Individual searches would be a great idea; time consuming, but much safer, and at the end of the day, that's what we all want when we're on-board a plane.
