This 'possible' version of events might be a little extreme. But, as a frequent business traveler, I can easily say that I would not want to be sitting next to, in front of, or behind, a little boy with a plastic sword. Of course, I'm also one of the crotchety people who don’t have kids and thinks that maybe children should be stored in barrels. And whether or not the bung in thrust into the hole is as well is a matter of debate. Maybe the youth in question is stellar in his behavior, but swords, especially pirate swords, are made for swashbuckling, and there really is no room on commercial airliners for swashbucklers. Niquil, yes, swords, no.
