I actually have a 7.62mm round (a souvenier) attached to a bag I often take as my carry-on, only because I keep forgetting to take it off, which I would have thought should set the alarms ringing, but it's never been noticed. But try walking through the doorway with a pair of nail clippers in your pocket and all hell breaks loose.
