[Paddlewise] Four-piece security risk

I would second Ralph's reluctance to carry on paddles now. I flew to
Montreal last week and the new NTSB security people are *very* thorough. I
was relieved of tweezers, a nail file, and three sets of folding allen
keys(they were longer than the guard's palm when unfolded). They explained
that the new rule is "no tools". I can't imagine trying to explain a
four-piece kayak paddle...
