Modify Leatherman to Be TSA Compliant

If you are the type to carry the Leather Man around, you are probably the type to feel a little weird when you don’t have some of your tools with you. TSA loves to confiscate even tiny tools like Leatherman Squirt . So, at Boing Boing, they show you how to bring this multitool in line.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, here you need to change knives, sewing machines and, possibly, a file. Of course, you can’t just take them out of the Leatherman without messing up how things fit together, which is why Boing Boing suggests flicking a file, blunting a knife, and removing an awl. If you want to go all-in, you can also carve “TSA-Compliant” into the case. You probably won’t want to do this on your favorite multitool, but if you have an old idle or cheap one on eBay , this is one way to keep this tool with you during your flight.
