Hrm. Reminds me of the time my Dad wasn't allowed to take his Leatherman on board.

What's wrong with that you say? He was the fucking pilot! What's he going to do, hold himself hostage?

The enemies of freedom are clever and nefarious, and we must always be on guard.

Hmm. No solemn, deadpan emoticon available.

I suppose they could be worried about a suicide bomber. And that he'd try to hold people trying to stop him at bay with the Leatherman. I guess.

Sometimes whoever trains you in martial arts might require that you sign an agreement not to use your skills in anger. But that's only liability and moral protection for them; it's not a legal requirement. If it were then it would make no sense not to also require anyone who trains in say rifle marksmanship to also sign something.
