One day security at CPH took my leatherman of me. As we are cargo crew, we have to carry our bags ourselves to the the airplane therefore we take everything as carry on luggage. They opened and emptied my suitcase, found everything suspect like a box of minidisks with music I carry, finally found my leatherman. It's got a knife with a blade of 7 cm; the maximum allowed is 6.5 cm; you ought to know that! This one is an illegal arm.
What we have to do now is go to another counter, one for luggage-hold luggage, where these things àre allowed... and then pick up the luggage on the other side of the wall, airside.
The CPH security people absolutely fail to see the absurdity
