My fiancée has gotten us stopped multiple times because she carries a wine key in her purse. I've gotten thru with pocket knives before, and I almost always check a firearm. Never had an issue.

I've had the same thing happen with sand in my baggage. Major freak out! Get out the bomb machines, this guy went to a beach!!
