TSA got me at Dulles for lockpicks that I forgot were in my carry-on and they had to check with a supervisor. Got them back fortunately as they were borrowed from a co-worker and I had forgotten to return them. Still don’t know what the threat is there.
Yeah, I always have a set, just in case. I have a cylinder lock cracker too in case there’s an apocalypse and I happen upon a vending machine.
