Anti-Terror Cutlery and Fragile Airplane Windows

by Teresa Valdez Klein on July 21, 2006

British silverware maker Arthur Price recently unveiled a line of terrorist-proof cutlery to be used by first class airline passengers, the International Herald Tribune reported today.

The knives and forks do not compromise on food-cutting capabilities, but are less likely to serve as effective weapons for would-be hijackers.

Also in the Herald-Trib’s Travel Update section: a story about a drunken China Airlines passenger aboard a flight from Ho Chi Minh city to Taipei who smashed his fist through one of the airliner’s windows - causing an emergency landing in Kaohsiung.

I guess putting your fist through a window while drunk is as possible in the air as it is on the ground.
