A passenger managed to waltz past JFK's ramped-up security gantlet with three boxcutters in his carry-on luggage -- easily boarding an international flight while carrying the weapon of choice of the 9/11 hijackers, sources told The Post yesterday....

The TSA spokeswoman Davis insisted that the traveling public was not at risk.

If boxcutters on board an aircraft do not put the public at risk, the TSA should  remove them from the list of prohibited objects and stop looking for them.  Why is it whenever there's a security breach the TSA's standard response is always "the traveling public was not at risk"?
