The Uppercase/Lowercase blurb missed the fact that kids used to restock those cubbies after the item was printed and they were always admonished to "mind their p's and q's" since they were easy to confuse in the lamplight they had to work in.

i like to make my backpack travelproof, meaning i can get through airport security in just about any country. usually because of technology stuff (lots of wires, adapters and gadgets) my bag could have maybe one item ive forgotten about slip through security because xray scans take too long and the follow up rummaging through the bag is also quite tedious. The one thing i cant live without is a travel friendly corkscrew. One can always use a nice glass of wine when stranded in madrid for a couple days. ive found one which is plastic and has just the corkscrew piece enclosed in a cylindrical plastic sheath. tsa friendly. all my non tsa friendly things end up in my checked bag. how would you pack an edc if it had to also be tsa compliant?

I have a Leatherman Squirt small folding multitool on my keyring; it gets used everyday! When I was was working in IT hardware support, I used a Gerber multitool in a belt pouch, but forget to put it on my belt these days...
