A few years ago I was visiting an ex-coworker in a government facility. I saw him trying to unpack this mountain of cardboard boxes by stabbing them with a ball point pen and then ripping the cardboard off.

I handed him my Swiss Army Knife but was told that this was not allowed in this facility.

WTF?

This government agency had a zero tolerance to any type of weapon. I have been carrying a SAK since I was 8 years old. With the exception of Basic Training, I can't remember any period of my life when I did not have a SAK on me.

Needless to say, I violated federal law by quickly slicing open all of his boxes and then escaping to saner organizations.

Banning Swiss Army Knives in the facility? My dyin arse!
