lookin at a couple months away from home. suggestions what i can keep on my keyring and not be bothered by security?
 
Airport security in Mexico confiscated my original Swiss+Tech microtechnician because "no tools" are allowed. They ignored the Utili-key that was on the same ring. In my experience, airport security is never a sure thing. The rules can and do change at the whim of the screener. Security hasn't found a way to limit skills and knowledge yet though.

yeah, i was thinking that too. they don't have PhD's runnin the show.
 
Just a tip, do not put your keys in the little bowl. Put them in your carry-on bag with pens, laptop cords, cell phone charger, and other dense items.
It seems to work for me.
 
I accidentally left my Seber M4 tool (with fearsome 1.25-inch pen knife blade) in my computer backpack instead of in my checked luggage on a return flight from Hawaii. They spotted it in the X-ray machine and from their description I couldn't even think of what they were talking about. There are lots of cables, adapters, batteries etc in there. At least they didn't arrest me for failure to acknowledge that I was traveling with a deadly weapon. (It really bothered me one time when a deputy doing screening at the local court referred to it as "my weapon" when he held it for me when I was on jury duty). Anyway they let me mail it to myself. The service was really slow and cost $10.00. There is some commercial outfit that has self mailer kits at some airports.

I always put my keys in my carry-on, but I don't try and slip through tools on the keychain.
 
It's all a scam, it's always been a scam. Back when you could carry a Spyderco Endura or a Sebenza, you couldn't carry a Kubotan, fact.

It's all a scam and they're selling everything they confiscate on E-bay. Just like every courthouse and state house in the nation that is "in the know" on the non-stop fleecing of Americans.

You can get an entire lot of scissors on E-bay which will be confiscated items the TSA has sold to someone at auction or a courthouse, from...say Denver, will be selling them.

It's shameful and it's just about "where we're at in this country now."
 
I agree with Don. This country is destroying itself from the inside and that is what will bring us down. Sorry to get off subject. I have one of the swiss tech tools and use it all the time and the light comes in very handy.
 
Speaking of TSA contraband, that's where I got my Leatherman squirt P4 and really like it. Interesting article here on the subject. You can score some great deals on sweet knives/multitools.
 
Yeah, I have some real mixed feelings about that sort of thing, you're feeding the BEAST by doing so and depriving someone else of their private property that shouldn't have been confiscated in the first place.

Your name probably isn't Amahd, either.

They pick and choose who they bother.

Anyway, I have only flown once since September 11th, and it was a pain. I am going to use the idea of stowing my keychain in my carry-on. That gives you a decent chance of going through without a hassle.

Cosign. There are too many things like this going on.

One of my favorite Finance professors in business school said if you want to figure out what is going on with something, follow the money trail. Who benefits?

My uncle lost his 30 year old lucky p-38 to airport security.

Yeah, but it's really for our own good, you see. Because there is another Uncle out there and his name is Uncle Al, Uncle Al Kiada, and he could actually use a P-38 can opener to peel open the door on the cockpit and do terrible things...like maybe open a can of Campbell's Split Pea & Ham Soup, and we all know what happens when that stuff gets tossed around...you guessed it, the DEBIL shows up on the scene and gets into little girls...in the immortal words of Richard Pryor, "The devils a low ************, Jack." :D
 
I got a pair of my best dissection tweezers confiscated because "they were a bit too pointed" and upon landing got a pamphlet saying that all tweezers were OK to carry! On the same flight I was given a GLASS bottle of white wine and allowed to take it off of the plane. Give me the materials- my mind is the tool!
