Yesterday my friend accidentally brought a Swiss Army knife into an airport

Yesterday my friend accidentally brought a Swiss Army knife into an airport?
He was departing from to KSJC from KBUR and he realized he had his knife on him when we walked through the front door. His flight was departing pretty soon and he was already pretty far from his college campus, so he chucked the knife in the trash. Because it was only a short trip to San Jose (where he lives), he only had a carry-on. Was there any other way he could've done this without losing the knife?

1 :
put it in his bag and send it though with checked baggage then he could have got his bag +the knife once he got there
2 :
Checked the bag (can be costly now a days) or Mail it to himself. If you ask the TSA people they will direct you to an automated mail kiosk. It has boxes and stamps and a mail box. You just mail it to yourself. I have seen them at most medium and larger airports.

You coulda mailed it to him

If the airport had storage lockers ... he could have rented one and stored the knife there. If someone was there to "see him off" he could have given the knife to that person (as long as they were not going through the metal detector). Or he could have mailed it to himself at either address (house or campus). Lots of options out there.
