Re: TSA approved leatherman
The TSA folks, depending on their mood and desires, seem to be able to call anything a weapon. Last month, after giving up on my argument regarding the Wilderness Tactical "Traveler's Belt" I was wearing, I got to observe a rather amusing debate with the next person in line. TSA said they were confiscating the 1" Swiss Army "knife" he had on his key chain and he was questioning the logic of that decision, since he was also carrying a large toolbox filled with significantly more capable weapons. He was an electrical contractor being put through security to work at one of the vendors in the airport. It was funny to watch the TSA guy explain that the "knife" was a weapon while the screwdrivers/drill bits/hammers were "tools".
