Victorinox Makes 1TB Swiss Army Knife

judgecorp writes "The Swiss Army knife has been available with storage for some time — now there is a 1 terabyte version. It comes with two bodies, so the storage can be swapped out into a flight-safe version with no knife or scissors. The company left the price off its release, but sources suggest it is $3000."

If They Confiscate Your Cupcake?

[Jeremiah Cornelius]

The TSA will surely snag your "flight safe" Victorinox!

They took a 3-inch plastic toy doll's rifle from a child - because it was a "replica firearm".

Someday, they will face the gates of Hell. Today? They are your middle-school hall-monitors, with an authorization from the American STASI.

I was just trying to make the point that you're not flying with some sort of "flight-safe" knife, you're probably able to detach the actual drive.

You're still flying with some part of a "weapon"/knife. That's grounds enough for the TSA, I'm sure.[/sarcasm]

I fly often and used to try to be understanding of the TSA. But in the last year, or so, they've become increasingly obnoxious. I've seen other passengers harassed because they choose a pat-down over being irradiated. Passengers treated like criminals because they had a tube of tooth paste in their luggage. I had a VGA card ruined because a idiot agent pulled it out of the antistatic bag and swiped it all over with a cloth while arguing with me the entire time. Then afterward told me I could have just checked it, which was exactly what I asked to do while she argued with me.

Easier to conceal, especially for international travel where an external disc drive is more likely to be searched/cloned/confiscated.

Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'...

Oh, wait, I thought you said 1024 Bee Gees. My bad.

Re:Why?

[Sebastopol]

Yes, because they certainly do NOT confiscate knives on planes. ;-)

If you want to make sure the TSA leaves your digital goodies alone, label it 'Viruses for AV Testing". Bonus: Carry a disclaimer form releasing you of damages if they do plug it in.
