As an aside, I think the law looks for 'sharps or points', as might
airlines and if my 88 year old Mum can have her small sewing scissors
confiscated before boarding a flight (or suggestions of people having
tweezers confiscated pre a flight), what of a fine screwdriver or awl
on a multitool?

One of my colleagues bought a nice digital micrometer in China when we
were there. Airport confiscated it

Why ... did they want one themselves.
