This is, as you can see, Part II of the little series of articles in which I want to show you, the reader, how many items (and I am sure I will not be able to cover them all) that could be weapons concealed in one way or other.
While a person carrying one of those may not, necessarily, be carrying it with a criminal intent and may not be a terrorist but what I would like to point out is how easy it is for them to be overlooked.
Key Knife
The picture above shows a “key knife” that was given away by a company that produces machinery for the security printing industry and general print industry. While, obviously, there is again nothing wrong such a knife per se as it is only a small pen knife the fact is that if this kind of knife (and there are a variety of different kinds and styles about) is attached to a keyring together with a bunch of keys it will, to the first and second glance, and possibly even to the trained eye appear as nothing more than yet another key on that particular bunch (the picture below shows the same knife in the open position).
As I said in the last article, we must always expect the unexpected in this field, and have our wits about us. Not everything is what it looks like at first and even second glance. If you feel suspicion, check.
