The last leatherman (wave) I had is now in the possession of some pilot from Southwest Airlines....

Barney in Clevland wouldn't let me take it on the plane because it had a "serrated" blade. I mean the guy with the high-and-tight travelling on official orders and a green id card is the obvious threat (all this was pre-9/11 before you get spun up). And I had the thing on my belt since Munich....

Agreement negotiated was that the crew would keep it until I reached my destination. (Phoenix).

Never saw it again.

I hope he caught his finger in the pliers..........
