USB-flash Swiss Army knife

| Details of the Victorinox USB-flash-drive Swiss Army knife can now be
| found on www.victorinox.com. 

I don't like the idea of bundling something as ephemeral as a
USB-flash-drive in something as long lasting as a Swiss Army Knife.
I've carried the SAK in my pocket for over 25 years.  I expect one
would want to replace a USB drive a whole bunch of times in that
period.

| One useful feature that wasn't clear from the press release is that the
| flash "blade" is removable,

Maybe you will be able to upgrade the memory without discarding the knife

| And there is a fascist-friendly version which deletes the knife, nailfile,
| and scissors so you can take it on a plane, maybe.

I almost lost mine in a US airport (forgot to put it in checked
luggage).  I ran back and mailed it to myself; almost missed the
plane.

(I recollect Ruth (Henry's S. O.) had a sharp object (Swiss Army
Knife?) confiscated at an airport on or about 2001 Sept 13 even though
it was in checked baggage.)
