.....Allegedly Robert Paterson, 38, stabbed the soldier, Nicholas Shipley, 20, in the neck, reports ABC News affiliate KTRK. The men were on an Express Jet flight to Savannah, Ga. when a fight began on the plane while it was on the tarmac. After a flight attendant tried to calm the men down, police say Paterson stabbed Shipley[...]

According to eyewitnesses, Paterson had a window punch in his hands, which are typically used by police and emergency personnel to break glass and rescue someone from a bad car accident. Window punches aren't on the list of prohibited travel items[...]

A TSA spokesperson wouldn't comment on the case or on how the tool got through security

Article doesn't make any sense. On one hand you have the comment "Window punches aren't on the list of prohibited travel items" Next, TSA comment: "A TSA spokesperson wouldn't comment on the case or on how the tool got through security"

WTF?

BTW, the soldier is back on duty and alleged perp is out on bail.

Thanks to a Canuck for heads up on image. If you use it Axel Sander must be credited. Not ifs, ands or buts.
