Anyone tried taking something like a sparklite or fire steel through security?

(I seem to remember a thread about this, but can't find it. Sorry if this is a dupe.)

I'm fairly sure I got a Doan's Magnesium tool through once. I'm not 100% sure, I don't remember. Of course the airports I go to seem to have decent security guards. They are not likely to be like the ones you hear horror stories about.

Funny thing happened to me the other day at a sporting event at a major arena in Dallas. Before I went through the metal detector I put my wallet in the tray where you put your keys and such. Noone ever looked in my wallet and it didnt go through the detector either. I had a BIG wallet too. I could have easily have had all kinds of "weapons" in there. <sigh> <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

As compared to the much better alternative <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> alternative.

I vote that Bounty run the country <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I don't know. That's kinda scarey. Tell ya what Flip, since it's your idea maybe we can let him run Canada for a couple years for practice. Then if he's still interested he can give the USA a try. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I don't know in that I would want to be associated with anyone that would vote me into such a tough unforgiving job.
