Of course. Witness Tuesday's events.

Granted that weapons can always be improvised. Failing anything else, a
fist makes a passable weapon against even a knife. However, I still think
banning any weapon or cutting implement has some advantages. First, I don't
think we should make it any easier for the bad guys. Second, there is a
physiological impact when someone holds up something designed to cut. A man
with a knife is a terrorist. A man with a broken CD is a crazy person.

I dunno about you, but I have never been able to cut it with those plastic
objects that pass for knifes, so nothing lost there. ;-)

Defense in depth.
Every additional hurdle is one more place they might get caught.

No, it jumped to 10,000 innocent people dead. :-(
If $100 per ticket is all it costs to prevent this from happening again, I
will gladly pay it.

Yes.
