What I actually said was said prematurly and without justification. I said it from what I have read about US security. I apologise.

Yesterday I returned from a four day trip to Barcelona. I was stopped passing through security and my bag was searched. My coat was in my bag and I had accidently left my multitool in my coat pocket. Oops <img src="images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />. I asked if I could run back and put it in my car and they said it was fine <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />. So much for my earlier post.

On my way back through security in barcelona airport I was stopped through the metal detector. This was suprising as I had no zips and no metal on me, as far as I new, apart from my watch. He scanned me with the metal detector and it was from my small FAK in a ziplock bag in my pocket. The security guard just shrugged and let me pass. This was very puzzling as I was sure that there was no metal in there. After, I checked in the FAK and it turned out to be the foil rapping on the tiny cyalume light stick in there.
