I was stopped by security because I had left a Helicomatic freewheel remover in the pocket of my backpack and forgotten about it. This is a flat metal tool that is designed to take off and put on bicycle freewheels made by Helicomatic. It also has two spoke wrenches, and a bottle opener, which is why I still had it. Security objected to the spoke wrenches, because it might be used to open something on the plane. This was true, if I found a nut that fit the spoke wrenches, 2 or 3 mm. Since I wasn't checking any luggage, I just threw out the freewheel remover.
