I learned how to use one in college in Defensive Tactics class and continue to train with it. I give basic instruction in its use for self defense classes. As a "management tool" I think they're excellent and can see a use for well trained flight crews using them.
Then again, any rigid cylindrical object can be used as a kubaton by someone well trained in its concept and use. A passenger can take out their ball point pen and use it in the same fashion.
I wonder why this has been overlooked in airport security. Obviously you can't take everyone's pen away from them but they don't need to carry that gold or platinum pen on the plane.
Guess you can't think of everything.
