Did you have to ditch your SAK en route?
No. As soon as I got to my meetings I arranged to have it couriered home. I wasn't about to have it seized on the trip back as it was a gift from a daughter several years ago and has considerable sentimental value.
And I never again made the mistake of taking it with me.
I had a colleague who put the plastic knife, provided with his airline meal, into his briefcase. When he checked in again it was seized and no one was listening to the argument about "But that's what you give me when I'm on the plane!"
Sometimes you just have to scratch your head and keep on walking.
