What was the explanation for the steak knife? -----Original Message----- From: The Airline List [mailto:AIRLINE@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU] On Behalf Of Bahadir Acuner Sent: Saturday, November 23, 2002 3:40 PM To: AIRLINE@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU Subject: Re: Gate check-in being phased out (via PS Inform) It's not an issue of doing it right, but it's an issue of statistics. If you do two levels of security there will be less errors, becuase believe it or not people miss things at the first times. Wife caught two people last night, thanks to the gate check. One with a swiss army knife and another one with a steak knife.. The surprising thing is public still gets pissed off to the screeners when these things are taken away at the gate..
