Has anyone seen any additional coverage about the new Leatherman tool? All I have seen is a little blurb on ESPN's SHOT coverage. Did anyone else see it at the show? Thank you.

Haven't heard of the Freestyle, but looking at their website I did come across the knife-less fuse. Kinda cool for frequent flyers.

They also have the aluminum Charges online.

Yeah I like that too. I saw it on their webiste the other day but what got me thinking is how smart TSA is going to be about that tool? I know it says it is TSA approved but after all they are never on the same page...

That is true, and unfortunately it doesn't look like there's a prominent TSA logo on the tool that you can point to and say, "Duh!"

Prior 9/11, I was forbidden to take a simple screwdriver in a cabine luggage.

And you think " NEEDLEnose" pliers will be OKed by TSA ??? The name itself makes it illegal !!!! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
