How about, when homeward bound and transiting from airside to landside, you bring the axe with you from the cockpit, paying a visit to the 'security' check point along the way, to help show the 'security' folks the total futility of taking tweezers, nail scissors, Gerber MultiTools, etc. from us when we're outbound to the aircraft ?
Uhm, now there's a question, if when airside I was to take the axe off the flightdeck, then go landside with it through security - showing the security folks the axe as I did so - veritably "Hey look what I've got !" - but once landside I do an immediate 180 and then try and go back airside, to replace the said same axe on the flightdeck, would they let me through ?
Talk about stupid and ill-conceived rules !
