Before the TSA, I routinely carried my Leatherman on my person in the cabin of commercial aircraft. When I passed through the security checkpoint, I'd remove it from its sheath and place it in the basket for your keys and change and such, and hand that to the uniformed person manning the checkpoint. I was never once stopped, questioned, or even looked at twice for doing this.
