A few months before 9/11, I flew to Zambia and back with my Leatherman Wave. The only trouble I had was in South Africa on the way back by some curious security guards. When I explained what it was, they got excited and played with it for a few minutes. They let me have it back when I asked for it politely.

Like my conceal carry I usually carry a Gerber multi-tool because it's suprising how often I come across things it's the solution for. I usually throw it in my back pocket and my fatass conforms around it comfortably and I won't always feel it. I once accidentally brought it through tsa without realizing it and I offered to return it to my ride as they weren't far out and they basically said no and I could either give it up or get arrested. So unfortunately I was out $40 because I had to buy a new one when I got back home.
Yeah, that’s no problem, unless you forget that you’re carrying until after you’ve already checked your bags. Had to drop a beloved CRKT pocket knife in the garbage can because I did that once and refused to have it confiscated and let one of those jerks keep it for theirselves.
I love that the TSA takes knives from people that get on planes but they don't realize that like if someone really wants to do some harm they don't need a f****** knife to do it they can get on the plane and that's already the issue
No, I think most people just forget because pocket knives are second nature, and by the time you're going through security, your bag has already been checked in and it's too late to double back.
This is the lot that afea years ago tried to confiscate a medallion from an old man. This medallion was attached tova pale blue ribbon and had multiple points, so they thought that it was a weapon. The man was former governor Joe Foss, and they were trying to seize the Medal of Honor that he was awarded for his actions at Guadalcanal.
I accidentally packed my microtech utx-85 in my carry on once because it was in the pocket of a pair of jeans. They caught it at security and let me mail it back to myself, for a hearty fee of course 😂.

Anything 'confiscated' by the TSA that is not normally illegal to carry in the state, county, city, country that the plane is taking off from should be mailed back to the owner at the TSA's cost. That's about the only way we will see a reduction in the inane buffoonery of TSA 'rules'.
I would lose my mind if someone took my leatherman. My dad gave it to me on my 18th birthday back in 2000. He passed in 2013 and it's kind of my only good memory from him. I still wear it and use it to this day.
Honestly I don’t understand how no airline has come up with a system or something that you can check your items last minute if they’re confiscated by tsa that you don’t lose your item and can have it at your destination
Cant you have one in your checked baggage? I was thinking you could as long as it wasnt on you or in your carry-on, I've flown with rifles on hunting trips and there are a few regulations you have to follow but it really osnt a huge deal as long as its locked up in a locked case and checked as baggage
@@DrunkonTacosThe point still stands though. Hypothetically if I lived in NY, tell me why I could buy a 6" kitchen knife at Walmart with no restrictions, but if I have a 2" switchblade everyone loses their shit. And this scenario goes for pretty much any state that has any form of knife restrictions, which is more than just NY and Cali. The fact that people think that the way the knife opens/deploys determines its threat level is ridiculous. Especially when a fixed blade like a KITCHEN KNIFE technically has the fastest "deploy" when concealed.
