It has come to my attention that given the new "rules" for screening "weapons" in airports, that the RabidWinder may be a problem to travel with. I hear even Allen wrenches are now confiscated. Has anyone had a problem traveling with one? Have any of the security personnel figured out how to open it...and if so, what happened thereafter?
