No, it's a matter of doing it right the FIRST time. Statistics also say that the knife will be missed during the second security check. It's pure incompetency that a knife can get through the security check, but, wait - we have the wonderful federal government doing it and we all know that when the government gets involved, everything is perfect. Again, can I remind everyone that when a reply is down to the Airline List, a reply is also sent to the person posting the e-mail. Please, be courteous and reply to either the list or the person sending the e-mail, not both. Some of us don't really like getting two copies of the same e-mail.
