how the hell is someone going to get a sword past airport security
Very easily. Ever been strip-searched? Didn't think so. So tape it to yourself. What about the metal detectors, you ask? Proper material, they won't be set off. (a knife or very short sword.. or gun.. is more likey).
Second, why didn't they do anything? Well, they didn't want to die, and they more than likely has no idea what was about to happen.
