Oddly enough, I think that your seatbelt cutter if it what I'm picturing in my mind is the same item. Does it resemble those letter openers where the blade (razor) is recessed in a narrow slot? An item that doesn't look like a blade may not catch the attention of the x-ray machine operator.<br><br>Likewise, last week I saw a knife that folds over and doubles as a money clip and does not really look like a weapon. At the time I saw it, before the WTC attack, I thought to myself that one could easily place it in the tray for metal items while walking through the metal detector, and the security staff would probibly not think twice about it. Of course, if they were well trained, then they would have been forewarned of such items. <br><br>Willie Vannerson<br>McHenry, IL
