When I was in Japan last summer, they questioned me about a set of lockpicks I carry with me in my wallet. The TSA have never caught it.

Similar story. I was flying back to Chicago from Monterrey, Mexico. The inspectors found a nail clipper, buried in my briefcase, that had a very small nail file on it. They insisted I could not take the clipper with me onboard because of the 1.25” long file that was integrated into the clipper. I broke the file off in front of the inspector and put the clipper back in my briefcase and boarded. Still amazed to this day they found that clipper (which I had traveled with for years).
The TSA and their inspections are a clown show that make Moe, Larry and Curly look competent.
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.
