Nail Clipper ... or SOG Seal 2000
About a year ago I had to take an international flight on a personal trip to South America ("Block Leave"). At the last minute I decided to use a bag I typically take to work (for my PT gear and such) as carry-on luggage. Well, I empty it out and put in it my computer stuff and most of my electronic gadgets (laptop, IPOD, extention cords, etc). When I finally make it onto the international flight, I remember wanting to check for my adapter for the laptop computer while in flight, and began to search through one of the smaller pockets in the bag now sitting under the seat in front of me. Suddenly, I feel what seems to be a knife handle. I feel my way down to it and then I realize I had my SOG Seal 2000 in that bag as I was cleaning out my desk the week prior (I do that every so often back at the team room - my desk gets too messy at times). So here I am, on a packed flight with a knife you'd stick into a boar. The SOG Seal 2000 is about the biggest knife I own (and the heaviest for its size). I chuckled at the fact that I saw TSA employees taking nail clippers and nail files away from people in the same screening check point. I think those people suck.
