http://edition.cnn.com/2013/03/06/travel/tsa-carry-on-hawley/index.html?hpt=us_c2

Summary: In America now, people are allowed to have small knife or sports equipment in air plane. This caused people to be scary. Some people are saying that, "if people started to use knife in plane, then the violence things will happen, such as murdering and etc." Like this, some people suggest it is a not nice thing.

Related to studies: We learned trade between Native American and Europe. By this 'Knife allowed' decision, people will trade with more dangerous things.

My opinion: I think this is really bad idea. We don't have to use knife in plane and we can buy it anywhere if there is market. I think it is a bad idea
