[Elecraft] Opportunism, bravery, insanity: putting the "eXtreme" in Elecraft's KX and AX gear

[Fred Jensen]

Well ... leaving Tucson AZ a few years ago, we were approaching TSA 
security when I discovered my Swiss Army Knife in a pocket of my cargo 
shorts.  I had a small carry-on so I unzipped my shaving kit and tucked 
it inside figuring it would be gone.  I wear braces on my legs and carry 
some scrap metal in my shoulder and am toast at TSA anyway.  I got the 
usual close inspection, but my knife made it through unscathed.  OTOH, 
that shaving kit, a Christmas present, contained a teeny little 
fingernail scissors and file in one of the side pockets that I didn't 
know about.  TSA found them and took nearly 30 min to decide what to do 
with them ... despite my telling them to just throw them away.

To really be useful, a Swiss Army knife can't really be glued to anything.
