Traveling by plane or just going to an amusement park can mean all pointy sharp objects that we love are verboten. I am searching for ideas on items you can carry that will pass a sniff test yet can still be used as tools when you need them.
I did pick up a Leatherman Style CS that is said to be TSA approved (but they can use discretion)
Some people have suggested key knives.
I have heard people thinking like Macgyver and bringing a CD and duct tape to use as a crude makeshift knife. (snap the CD in half and use the tape to wrap one side)
I do know people seem to gloss over my paracord bracelet. One idea I came up with, was to put a mini dog tag on the bracelet and pre-score it on a diagonal. When / if you need it, you take the tag off, bend it back and forth until it snaps and then use the jagged edge as a knife. I did test this idea out with some success.
Does anyone have other ideas of items that can be useful but won't get confiscated?
