TSA confiscates folding car key, calling it a "switchbalde"
Dan says: "The Transportation Security Administration confiscated this man's folding Audi car key ($300 replacement cost) at Dallas/Ft. Worth. They claimed it was a 'switchblade.' If he hadn't had a spare key, he would have been stuck upon arriving with no car keys." (I have the same type of key for my car, and have brought it on planes dozens of times with no problem. -- Mark) Link
