A multi-tool that fits in a wallet

Be careful about this. Apparently the little blade is considered a concealed weapon in some states. My friend, here in California, got arrested and taken to a police station because they found one of those. They eventually let him off because they weren't realistically going to charge him for carrying around what essentially amounted to a pocket mirror, but if a cop is already pissed at you, that thing won't help.

I'm out about $430 after buying random shit I don't need off of that "thisiswhyimbroke" sight =_=

(But seriously you all wanted to buy that iPhone laser tag gun thing, I know you did)

Damn it! I'm the 3rd one who ordered stuff off that site! I bought 3 things and now $80 gone just because of this thread! LOL

But seriously, I was thinking WTF about an inflatable flying shark? So then i searched it on youtube for demonstrations, and thought how badass this thing was:



Look at its tail moving so realistically! I am going to torment my neighbor's dog with this in his backyard so badly. That alone will be worth $10 right there, but I'm still $70 in the hole. FU OP!

They eventually let him off because they weren't realistically going to charge him for carrying around what essentially amounted to a pocket mirror, but if a cop is already pissed at you, that thing won't help.

Awkward... I actually visited my state capital about a week after this post.

I approached the entrance of the capital from a detached glass structure with some security guards armed with semiautomatic pistols, tasers and batons. Carelessly, I walked to a queue with my visiting friend. After waiting patiently, I greeted the first guard with a "Hello" and proceed to place my pocketed belongings in a plastic tray that feed a mundane looking x ray machine. I walked through the metal detector uneventfully.

Finally, they detected something questionable that looked like a blade in the x-ray and couldn't figure out what it was. I realized that it was my multi tool that I was carrying in my wallet and promptly alerted the x-ray operator of this. I then instructed her to pull out the multi tool from my wallet. Confused holding a red plastic card, I guided her to the blade. She fumbled about finding the can opener/flathead-screwdriver first until I pointed to the other tab in the card.

She found the blade and then informed me that she would have to hang on to the multi tool until I depart from the capital....

So that could have been pretty awkward if the guards had considered me to be more of a threat.

When I last flew to the UK I had my swiss multitool with me by accident.

I recently bought a breathalyzer for $26 only to find out it's complete shit. Basically, if you take a shot of vodka (completely sober) and blow into it immediately after, it think you're at least .25 or something crazy. But if you've been hammered for a while and haven't drank in say 45 minutes, it'll give you like a 0.05.


Thats exactly how police breathalyzers works though - so I would say its working as intended. The point of them is to know if the police would arrest you or not...

When asking they told me that it's short enough (I think under 6cm) and that it doesn't has a pointed edge. Completely ignoring that it's probably easier to threaten someone with that than a nail file or something. :X ... Security works in weird ways sometimes.

Edit: I guess USA always was much rougher than this, when I first flew there (I was 2 years old) apparently the guards searched my pampers for drugs. T_T
