On a recent flight from Geneva I was ~5kg overweight on check-in and
the easyjet guy suggested I carry my boot bag on board. No problem,
it was a good solution. He didn't seem to think I could or would
use my boots as a weapon.


Use a ski. Hold it by the binding, both hands with gloves on, and
swing it like a broadsword. If it doesn't do serious damage it
wasn't sharp enough.


Although this method doesn't work for ski jumpers in small aircraft.
