Multi-tool Keys - Mod / Hack

Step 1 Materials

NOTE: Let me first state that I stumbled on this Idea browsing through the edcforums. There was a post a while back where user, shadeone had posted some pictures and a short tutorial on building one of these sweet little babies. Check out the original forums thread started by shadeone here. I take no credit for originating this idea, I've just documented my own experience building one. This is a modification to his original half micra design which allows me to keep the pliers and a few tools.

Leatherman Micra - ( I used a cheapo Husky clone that I got at home depot for $2)
Keys - (be sure to make copies of them first)
Drill
Something to cut the keys with - (I used a Dremel with a cutoff wheel.

I REALLY like the idea of this mod, and I started thinking about what I would need to buy to make one myself... but toekneebullard's makes a really valid point. With all of the blades removed, technically you shouldn't have any problems with airport security, but this is reality and I can almost guarantee that you will at LEAST have to do a lot of explaining before they allowed you to take it on the plane. More likely though I believe they wouldn't even let you board with it. :( sad clown.

 Put it in your luggage. Problem solved.

I just had a thought. I wonder how this would be received in an airport. Even with all the blades out, I wonder if security would let you through with it.
