I had to go back and check a necklace because TSA agents claimed it could be used to whip or garotte. A freaking necklace!

I often fly with a travel-size guitar (one of these: http://www.guitarbench.com/Images%20for%20articles/brunner/8...).

The neck comes off and it packs into a case that's small enough for carry-on. It has often struck me that a guitar neck with six metal strings attached would make a fairly effective weapon (at least, by TSA standards!) but I've never had any trouble getting through security, apart from occasionally having to put it together.

Must be hard to keep the action and tuning good on that, after re-assembly?

Don't let them see your belt or shoelaces.
