<VV> Tools on planes??

[Joel McGregor]

I think it's been six to eight times since 9/11.  I carry my tools on the
plane in my laptop bag.  I've had them search the bag several times.  The
only comment made was that the cables looked suspicious on the x-ray.  I
probably would have had problems if my skin was a little darker.

in the past couple of years.  My favorite screwdriver I carry is a 14" long

Since 9/11??  Not through any airport that I've gone through!!  Checked, yes
- on the plane, no.  A small eyeglass screwdriver is the largest screwdriver
allowed on a plane.
