9. 🥇

You win a medal.

[Thomas Hurt]

2. I carry a pocket knife but I would be embarrassed to carry one of those faux gun/knife things.

Those are hilarious. I am guessing the plan with those is too try to scare them off with the fake gun and if that doesn't work you ask for a sec to get the blade out.

25. I carried one all my life. But now my workplaces does not allow them.

Funny incident. In 2013 we went to Paris and I put my Swiss Army knife in my checked bag so no problem flying. We eat lots of picnic meals when in Europe and it’s handy cutting cheese and sausage.

It was a replica of the first one with stainless sides not red sides and was my wife’s wedding gift to me…she got pearls I’m not talking a big blade. Maybe 2.5-3 inches. But it had sentimental value.

We got to the Eiffel Tower very early and could go right up. But then I read the rules and saw no pocket knives allowed! What to do. Well, I went over and inspected the bedding plants. Snapdragons I’ll never forget. Dropped the knife into them. Retrieved it when we were done.

Now I don’t carry one unless fishing. Actually I can carry one at work. But the company has to issue it!

4. I see that my old beloved

"Mystic Cat" keychain is no longer permitted. (There are two of them next to the orange cat keychain thingie, on the left)

[nocoincidences]

7. I've carried the mystic cat keychain

since the early Eighties. I usually remember to take it out of my purse before I go to the airport.

I know that it is considered like 'brass knuckles', and has been for decades!

Somehow I have managed to avoid getting caught with it!

[MagickMuffin]

5. I spy a Anubis cane/walking stick

I wonder if the head comes off exposing a dagger?

[dweller]

6. Beside the claw hammer

Is that THE CLAW ?


✌🏻

[underpants]

8. Yes. Took me a while to see it.

Red with a black handle.

[dweller]

11. And above the hammer, above the Anubis cane

Pool cue carrier ?
🤔

✌🏻

[underpants]

16. The silver thing looks like a torque wrench

I think that’s the right term.

[Nevilledog]

12. WTF is that thing next to the hammer?

[dweller]

15. The claw ?

I actually think it’s a gear puller of sort

✌🏻

[Nevilledog]

17. Doh.....I thought you guys were discussing a claw hammer. Makes sense now.

Couldn't figure out why you guys were talking about a stupid hammer.....lol

[underpants]

20. Oh, now you are hating on hammers

Fine then. 😡

[Nevilledog]

23. I just thought you were goofy. Had a secret hammer fetish or something.

[underpants]

24. That's beside the point.

[underpants]

18. Thanks. I think you're right. I couldn't even figure out what to google as a guess.

[Solly Mack]

10. And to think I feel like a rebel when I use my handbag as luggage when my carryon is full.

Clean undies, clean bra, and bathroom travel kit alongside my wallet, keys, etc.

Oh, yeah. I walk on the wild side.

lololol

[Nevilledog]

13. I just feel sorry for the juggler missing his pin.

[Solly Mack]

14. That could get a little awkward.

[hunter]

21. I figure he was the guy with the chainsaw as well.

Heck, all of that stuff could have belonged to the juggler.

[Solly Mack]

22. Juggling Pin, chainsaw, grenade. All fun and games until someone tosses the wrong pin.

[underpants]

19. Okay hold it. That's a hand grenade.

Good Gawd.

[KentuckyWoman]

26. Is that a blue watergun?

If so, I want the confidence of the TSA agent who scored that takedown.

They will never live down keeping the American skies safe from super soakers.

[smirkymonkey]

27. Or the grenade!

WTF?
