If the search for knives truly is the culprit that's clogging up screening lanes, maybe those who bring them should be fined.
This single sentence could potentially solve the entire problem. By having a financial penalty, instead of just confiscating the problematic item, would force people to reconsider what is and isn't allowed.
- duskwuff 14y agoDoubtful. There's already a financial penalty: the loss of the confiscated item. Increasing the penalty (by adding a fine) would just make the process more frustrating -- nobody's trying to take a pocket knife through security on purpose. (Nor would adding a fine make the search any easier to carry out.)
