All that has happened recently is the odd hair cutting incident, but I do see the point. They can easily be used as a weapon, and is why we can't take them on an airplane-or my knitting needles.

I too would be concerned that they would cut something out of a book. I thought this article would be about theft, especially when you mentioned homeless people. Perhaps they would "borrow" them and forget to return them. The reality of violence is that someone who wants to hurt someone will find something to use to do it. A friend of mine was attacked in a school library by a student who pulled the metal cable out of the card catalogue (the one that held all the cards down) and he attempted to strangle my friend who was a student teacher at the time. Computers have now replaced card catalogues, but if necessity is the mother of invention, then insanity must be a crazy uncle. I agree with Mark – why would someone need scissors in a library.
