Ever since security got tighter and I can't carry my trusty SAK, I feel naked and I usually take a plastic letter opener to use as a seat belt cutter and a pair of EMT shears for everything else.
Why a plastic letter opener to use as a seat belt cutter when a pair of EMT shears does a better job?

I think the plastic letter opener may be faster on a seatbelt as you just run it through and the razor blade inside cuts it. I figure the EMT shears for everything else I may need to cut.
And it is small and light and flat so not a big deal to take. And it is more comfortable should I decide to put it in my pocket.
Besides, redundancy is not a bad thing in a kit.
