I once went through airport security with a wire wrap gun.
The Cooper Group Wire-Wrap Wire Wrapping Tool 27160AAB RPM 4500 | eBay



Security: "What is this?"
ME: " A wire wrap gun"

Security: "GUN"

After much explanation, it was permitted to board the plane with me,
although because it was a "GUN", it had to be checked as baggage.

The looks and stares from the airport staff were priceless.
Uncertain objects get attention.

Carrying a loaded firearm through the Pittsburgh, PA Airport security will get noticed,
the Moon Township Police will escort you to a holding cell.

I knew a cop that had to bring his loaded firearm with him on a flight which is a convoluted process but eventually he is allowed to proceed thru airport security..... but they confiscated his tube of tooth paste because it was larger than the allowed 50ml size.

BTW, I have used a wire wrap gun as I used to build telephone network switches.

I started in 1984 with English step by step electromechanical and my wife worked with crossbar #5. Then upgraded to digital - DMS100 - took translations course. Wire wrapped for loops & repeaters, QVF, channel banks, LD1, FMT150, SONET DS1s, landlines, DSL, etc. Good times.

I started in 1981 as a rack-dog then progressed to Siemens SxS, Northern Telecom crossbar & SP1 as well as GTD5, but mostly DMS100/200.

I also was in customer translations, DID, PRI & Centrex...then network translations

I got to travel/work overseas (England, Hong Kong, Spain) with Nortel, commissioning and NOC support.

99% of the people have no idea what makes their telephone/mobile work....they just think the "smart phone" does it all :)
