Has anyone gotten through TSA with a knifeless Rebar? I desperately want something capable to carry onto a plane and I like this idea but I don't want to find out the hard way that it won't pass...


I'd doubt it. There are no real standards, and it's up to the TSA's discretion what gets in and what doesn't, and that's quite broad.

That kinda what I thought.

Will it legally pass? Yes, based on the written guidelines. But remember that the last word is a screener. Who has full power and authority to seize anything they want, and to block anyone they want.

I've been doing a lot of carry-on only air travel for the last year and a half and every time I was able to get my LM Style PS through security. I read somewhere that TSA agents don't like finding something and then thinking you are trying to sneak it through. So every time I've kept the Style PS in my pocket, opened it up completely showing all of the tools and put it in the tray with my keys and wallet. A few times I've seen an agent pick it up and examine it but so far none have taken it. I also keep a phillips screwdriver key on my keyring. Together I've been able to handle most of the light, everyday tasks I've encountered while traveling.
This has certainly gotten my brain gears turning. :think:
I may try this out next flight, with the cheapest bladeless tool that I can find/mod.
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

I would suggest picking up a cheap (5 dollar or so) pocket knife once you get there so that you have a blade at least, and just dispose of it before you leave.
