You should have gone to Sweden.  Four years ago I was stopped in the
security check point.  I handed my key ring before walking through the
metal
dector in the airport.	I kep a short 1.5" lock-back on my key ring.
Appearently lock-backs aren't legal in Sweden.	The younger guy started
to
make an issue of it, but the older gaurd just wavied his hand, the
younger
guy handed my keys back, and on I went.
