Bin Laden should have been put on the hit list back then.
Isn't that Ollie North story a long-debunked urban legend?

They were legal. But if you wanted to stop them it was something to talk about. They didn't want to stop them.

In the mid nineties carry on I took a gas stove complete with the bottle for the gas. If anything looked like a bomb or could of been into a bomb that was it, the only thing they did was open the tank to make sure there was no fuel in it. I also had Swiss army knife. that was easily more dangerous than a box cutter.
