I'm glad they're stopping people like RawTop with police batons that they carry in their luggage, it makes complete sense. Most average everyday people would consider a police baton a weapon.

In all my traveling around the world I've never had an issue at airport screening.
Yes, you would enjoy the fact I was hassled by them.

The reason they stopped me wasn't the baton, but the big padlocks I had in my luggage - they couldn't tell what they were. They just happened to find the baton. But the thing about the baton is you can hit someone with just about anything. It's not like it was a full-sized baton, so not all that dangerous.
