Virtually anything could be used as a weapon. A ski boot is pretty
unwieldy though. Why don't they just tranquillise everyone as soon as
they step into the departure lounge?

It's not just weapons either - Just back from Selva and one of our party was
told he couldn't take his plastic cable ties (God knows why he had them
anyway).
