During training I had a fuel tester confiscated from my flight bag. One of those clear plastic ones you push up into a C172 wing fuel drain. They have a philips screwdriver head on them. I asked why she was confiscating it and she said because it could be used to disassemble parts of the plane during flight.
I pointed out that I was a trainee pilot and highly unlikely to do anything like that, and she said "you aren't helping your case Sir, you're telling me you know how to disassemble it as well"
