Interesting. Hope there are no restrictions on carrying pens on board.

If it does, and said ban doesn't include all writing implements, someone's an idiot (not that their current rules don't have idiotic elements). Every writing implement includes a point wherewith to stab, and I don't believe for a minute that a FP is a better stabbing tool than many ballpoints.

 

Meanwhile, the article is yet another example of poor reporting. What was the make and model of the pen? What was the nib size? Was it a steel nib (assumed) or a gold nib (someone should have pointed out gold is a poor choice for this use)? What ink was he using?

ANYTHING can be a weapon. In The Godfather III a pair of glasses is used.

Everyone on flight should be handcuffed. Many people can kill a person with their bare hands.

The guy must have shouted...

Boy aren't we dangerous.

That's how you solve all of the world's problems.

 

Just imagine....

 

No more crimes.

Geraldine Chaplin effectively wielded a plain wood pencil in the film, Remember my Name.

What I am more curious about and should have been reported is was it a Jinhao, Wing Sung, Baouer or was the offender more savvy and yielded a Sailor, Pelikan, or a Montblanc, or more stylish and used an Aurora or Montegrappa.

Just remember that the pen is mightier than the sword.

 

:lol: You beat me to the punch on that one....

I've started using the phrase "I have a fountain pen -- your argument is invalid."

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

Well, very reasonable. Words can kill and fountain pens are made to write down words. It's an especially dangerous weapon in a country without freedom of speech. ;) You may block facebook, twitter, and google but it's hard to control handwritten notes.

It's also dangerous in countries with freedom of speech. Every written word could be a lie. ;)

Correct. But if it's handwritten, you usually know the author and can judge it upon that. ;) And if it's written with a fountain pen, it should be especially trustworthy (just kidding).

I wonder if this has anything to do with Kim Jung Un's weapons of mass dissemination?

Hold on, if I got "caught" with a "weapon" at my local high school, (TWSBI Eco), why hasn't someone been "caught" at an airport yet?

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
