Playing the Odds in Atlantic City

A student was caught in Atlantic City trying to get a pair of scissors and two box cutters into a plane. It wasn't accidental either, the scissors were inside a bar of soap and the box cutters inside a lotion bottle. Maybe he was trying to test security, maybe he's Al Qaeda, or maybe he's just a f***ing psycho. Whatever his trip was, the good news is that he is going directly to jail--do not pass "Go", do not collect $200. What do you think were the odds of him being beaten to a pulp by passengers had he gotten on the plane and acted up?
