the regulations are pretty much the same here. Though, you could surrender the sak in your pocket and the air crew would hold it for safe keeping for you and return it to you after the flight at your destination.
And we have no TSA police to harass us. The security here are quite civil. No need to take off the shoes, no need to have unlocked bags, all bags are screened only after being checked in, so no long lines for security check.
Less hassle.
