Not to be trivial, or insensitive; but, can you see a knife ban coming in relation to this?

Again, not to be cynical, but -

This is the solution to all these assaults on people's well being:

Don't go to college;
Don't go to school;
Don't fly;
Don't work;

Just rely on the government's law enforcement and social services personnel; and if anything goes wrong call 911.

Welcome to the New World Order. Big Brother will protect you!
