Found this vid on another board. Seems a guy is making and selling brass knuckles made out of thick lexan. The vid is a bit alarmist but does raise some good points.
interesting

Hey, those are pretty nice. But this is much more deniable:

I've been carrying two since 9/11 (I travel a lot).

Yep, same problem with the Glock. All that plastic, they just slide right through the detectors.

oh no! a plastic knife would do more harm.

another lesson learned...metal detectors don't equal security.

These products have been in the market for atleast 10 years now.

They seem amazed that lexan gets through the metal detectors.

I watched without the sound, maybe I missed something.

Somebody HAS to do something about these.  Vegetables are people too.

I've got one that someone gave me in the late 80's. I've been a little scared to try to take it on a plane lately.

I've had one of A since they were called C I A letter openers. Will hold a decent edge with a little work.

In Texas brass knuckles are prohibited by name. I wonder if "knuckles" of any other type would be legal. Probably falls into the legal to own and not carry category.

I was seriously disturbed by the ease with which those things tore through that carton of milk (as if that wasn't gruesome enough, they had to show it in slow motion so you could see the milk spurting all over the place). Plus, the damage inflicted upon that head of cabbage was unsettling to say the least.

If a bag of groceries ever tries to kick my ass, I know what weapon I'm reaching for.

I'm just praying to God we don't see the day when some psycho dons body armor and takes two of these things into a grocery store.  Not even a swat team with high powered assault weapons shooting armor piercing hollow point bullets could save the produce and dairy sections.

Laugh all you want but when the day comes that somebody makes one with a teflon coating on it, the bad guy will be able to punch clear through your body.

I would actually feel more comfortable and safer if I knew my fellow Americans were carrying these on planes with me.  Even better if everyone one he plane were issues a knife as well.  Maybe have it in "the seat pocket infront of you".

will lead pass through an xray machine without setting it off?  What's it look like on the screen?

I had a plastic comb knife like 15 years ago, this kind of thing is nothing new.

Everyone wants training against 'pointed sticks'  they just don't understand the dangers of fresh produce

Where is Mr. Thompson-Giselle when you need him, under the 10 ton wieght or something?

Each seat back needs one single billard ball.  My billard ball, useless as a weapon.  Everyone on the plane throwing the billard ball at Haji Hij@cker, chaos and deversion to overpower him

The CIA letter opener fits very nicely,  point down, inside your necktie.  It also prevents you tie from flapping uncontrollably in the wind.

Place in your briefcase or carry on a pair of cotton tube socks and either a roll of quarters or one of those little boxes with two golf balls and you have the makings of a deadly weapon.

No problem at all. Goes right through the magnetometer, of course. In the very unlikely event of a pat down it's "Found it in my rental car, it's a mini-portable-ice scrape--cool, huh?" If they take it you're out a few bucks. I haven't seen a TSA pat down in years.

eta: I own Page 2 and what a great topic for patriotic post #1776! F the TSA!
