GA-LGV3-GB - GOOD ART HLYWD Goosebump Little Gents Pocket Knife v3 - Sterling Silver

@XPender that’s insane! I wonder if Josh can do silver scales for a Victorinox traveler? Same size as a compact but scissors and nail file instead of a blade. I carry one when I travel domestically. Then again it might not be worth the trouble

My daily carry. Although I think mine is a V2.

TSA once confiscated one of those Victorinox knives from me at the airport. I had carried that knife with me everywhere and had forgotten it was in my bag. When I got onto the plane, the woman beside me was knitting with her metal knitting needles, which in my opinion could have done way more damage than me with my little pen knife.

@goosehd I can’t even count the number of those knivesTSA has confiscated from me. I’ve carried one on my keychain for about 30 years. Now I keep one in my Dopp kit in my checked luggage so that when I travel, I always have one available for my keychain on the ground. I once had a drum key confiscated by TSA because it was technically a “tool” and tools weren’t allowed on the plane. This was in 2003 when TSA was brand new and being overly cautious, but it still pisses me off. As you said, knitting needles are way more lethal.

@seawolf a BIC stick pen is more lethal

[goosehd]

@seawolf I would have loved to see the mental gymnastics for them to have confiscated the drum key. My bet is the majority of people wouldn't even know what it was.

[seawolf]

@goosehd the guy even admitted he was a drummer and knew what it was! He probably wanted it for himself. I was leaving for boot camp that day, and didn’t want to start a fight on my first day in the Navy so I just let it go. I still miss that keychain!

@seawolf didn’t realize you were a Navy man, Zach.
Army Medic here. Right out of high school.

[seawolf]

@Mizmazzle Oh nice! I retired in 2021

[seawolf]

@Anesthetist Security theater in action!

[Mizmazzle]

@seawolf is that where all the kitchen experience comes from?

[seawolf]

@Mizmazzle Yes and no. I started working in kitchens when I was 15, went to culinary school after high school, joined the Navy at 23, and spent the majority of my career working as a private chef for admirals. I did some other things in the beginning and at the end of my career, but that's the meat and potatoes of it, if you'll forgive the pun.
