Last time I've flown with my swiss army knife. They checked the blade length at the metal gates, all ok.

    I accidentally brought wire cutters in my carry on before boarding a flight in Florida. They measured the blade length and laughed and let me through, after I immediately told them they could throw them away. Then during my trip I forgot all about them. When I went to board my return flight the person immediately confiscated them.

    I have this thing called a Utili-Key which is a little multi-tool and knife that folds up into a key shape that goes on your keyring. I've flown with it multiple times without TSA noticing, but I had to get rid of it when I went to see a Philadelphia 76ers game. Nothing could be more TSA than a fucking basketball game being more secure than a flight.

    How'd you get rid of it for the game, while still having it now?

  • Ah, the old "you can't throw away your cake and eat it too" conundrum.

    I bought a replacement Utili-Key, they're only $5 or so. Actually I bought a bunch since they occasionally come off the keyring and vanish. Make nice little gifts, too.
