My Wilderness belt is the most dangerous thing I've found that they'll let me take on a plane.

Some Haji might not be afraid of death... but a 6'3" 280 pounds of half-crazed white American screaming at the top of his lungs waving a big hunk of steel on a strap with his pants around his ankles will give anyone pause...

seriously, if it isn't nailed down, and is light enough to swing, or throw, it is a weapon.

Computer power cords tied in the right way can make a cat-o-nine tails with blades on the ends. ;)

 



Can of soda in a sock or shirt, likewise, ice cubes.




That metal thing in a three ring binder can be ripped out, the clasps opened, and used to whip someone or jab them.




If you have time to prepare, any of the "weight in cloth" weapons can be made better by using a pair of tighty whities.  The elastic can be ripped off and tied to a lock, etc.

unbrella, pen or pencil, rolled up news paper or magazine, belt, jacket, shoe especially high heeled ones, hat with or without fish hooks and lead weights hanging from it. And that's just the stuff that people usually have on them! Just about anything can be a weapon if you're willing to use it!  I guess you saw video of NYC bikers using helmets to smash SUV.  Tire irons, jack handles, hammers, screwdriver, large wrenches, can of spray paint;  all kinds of tools can be used as a weapon.   I have to choke myself to keep from answering what I really think when they ask me if I have any weapons on me when I go to court house or airport!

Tightly rolled magazine, secure with rubberbands or hair ties. Great little weapon. Can be used for striking and pressure points.
