Wow. I just bought one of those last week to keep in my car for emergencies.
Steve:
Apparently, small blades or knifes under 4 inches were legal (including the Leatherman)...but according to a 1994 airline manual, box cutters and pepper spray were supposed to be prohibited. This prohibition was at the behest of the airliners, themselves...not the FAA. I have a feeling that because this wasn't an FAA/government enforced regulation, it wasn't strictly followed.
