Did they take a lifetime supply of razors? The men's beards never grow and their hair lengths never change

I seem to recall them trying to shave in the first season. Also, they have only been there for about 45 days.

Sayid is a muslim, have we ever once seen him do his prayers? Muslims are suppose to be doing that 5 times a day. Even the most lapse Muslim (which I've known a few) are still pretty reliable when it comes to their prayers (and btw, the guy who plays Sayid - isn't he a Hindu Indian?)

No answer for this really, except that he must not be observant. Sayid is supposed to be from Iraq.

Is Oceanic Airlines the most lax standards. I mean a man brought a suitcase filled with knives and somehow 6 guns made it on the plane (plus a lifetime supply of razors & scissors)

I think that airlines will let you check weapons (although not positive). Locke's knives were in the checked luggage. The guns are from the US Marshall who had taken Kate into custody.
