Sal, thought you and the other "Merchants of Death" at Spyderco would get a chuckle out of this. I posted the full story on the Community forum. In brief, after returning to work from a coffee run I set off the metal detector. Since I'd already emptied my pockets I took off my jacket and the guy with the wand asked what was in my shirt pocket. I had a pen and a zytel Dragonfly. They were horrified and it was confiscated until I leave the building. Funny thing was, I laid my money clip on the table and nobody noticed---a CRKT KISS with the combo blade. I guess if they had seen that I'd still be under interrogation. If they had looked in my briefcase this morning I'd have really been in trouble. I had several knife magazines with PICTURES of big nasty knives! Don't think I'm kidding. A fourth grader in the Anne Arundel Md. public school system was suspended for a day for drawing a picture of a gun used in a Nintendo game cutting it out ant waving it around in class. Whatever happened to commonsense?

P.S. It just occured to me that if we end up sending ground troops to Kosovo we should armed them all with Dragonflies! I'll bet those Serbs couldn't surrender fast enough!

For shame, carrying such a dangerous weapon, watch out the ATF doesn't stake out your house or something assinine like that, you Psychopath.

Seriously though, if we issued our soldiers Dragonflys and Nintendo gun cutouts and we would be invincible. The possibilities boggle the mind.
It never ceases to amaze me how people overreact at the littlest things. It's not like you were smuggling in a Mac-10 and 6 lbs of C-4 or anything.
I suppose most people prefer to walk around in a daze with no concept of personal security or "utility" for that matter.

Oh well, I feel for you Phantom4. I really do.

Sigh.... You know that commonsense isn't very common! Seems like it's in danger of becoming extinct.

Common sense is a misnomer...?
