It was my understanding that the terrorists utilised box-cutters on the affected flights, which were legal to take on-board at the time (as they were considered tools of trade). It was only after 9/11 that the US government banned them.

Seems like the airlines were only following the government mandates at the time?

Of course, let me know if I'm wrong! :)
