(COMTEX) Man boards aircraft with meat cleavers Nov 15, 2001 (AIRLINE INDUSTRY INFORMATION via COMTEX) -- A 76-year-old chef from Hong Kong faces a misdemeanour charge for trying to board a United Airlines flight with two meat cleavers in his carry-on bag. Sung Ming Mok flew to Miami from Caracas, Venezuela with the 4-inch-by-4-inch kitchen knives in his checked luggage. He then carried the bag containing the cleavers through an airport checkpoint at Miami International Airport which was staffed by employees from the embattled Argenbright Security Inc. Mok was able to board flight 1259 in Miami with the meat cleavers in his carry-on. The cleavers were eventually discovered during a random hand check of Mok's bag as he approached the gate at O'Hare International Airport. United Airlines has said that the man did not pose a terrorist threat. He has been charged with unlawful use of a weapon, a misdemeanour, and was released on his own recognizance pending a court appearance on 14 December, reported United Press International.
