What's a good substitute for a pocket knife that can be carried on-board a plane?

I’ve had a bicycle Y-wrench, about three inches across, small enough to forget in my pocket, refused. They did let me mail it to myself, which was approximately the same cost as replacing it.

Scissors are definitely a no-no. About a dozen years ago I traveled with my 80-year-old mother. She had a small scissors caught inside the lining of her purse, about the size of the scissors blade of a Swiss-army knife. It showed on the X-ray, and the bag made multiple passes through the machine until they managed to find it and confiscate it.

I agree with the observation that ANYTHING tool-like is likely not to make it.

I believe what you’re looking for is called the Knifeless Leatherman.
