I had seen these and thought about getting one. Then I imagined forgetting to leave it at home and watching it being thrown into an airport security disposal bin.
BTW, what is that little spike thing at the top, a metal toothpick or a hole punch?
Judging from
this article, I was right to be worried. I'll stick to flash drives on pens.

Reading Passengers
The day of a security screener often begins at 4:30 a.m., when most people are sound asleep. If screeners are short-staffed or off to a slow start in the early morning, the longer lines tend to drag much longer into the day. Some mornings, passengers wait more than a hour to get through the checkpoint.
Before the shift starts at 5 a.m., screeners huddle in the break room or a conference room with a supervisor to receive the latest information about threats to aviation and new gadgets to watch out for. Last Thursday, a TSA supervisor briefed more than a dozen screeners about a new computer memory device made by Swiss Army that is also equipped with a small knife.
