I asked him how it could be a threat. He couldnt answer. I asked if he thought I was intending on taking the plane apart.

They said I'd have to either check my carry-on or mail the wrench home. Both were out of the question due to time, so they took the wrench and threw it in a big bag full of the same wrench.
Enforcement seems uneven. I had a small pair our round nose scissors, better quality but about the same size as elementary shcool scissors. TSA took them out, looked at the, and decided I was no threat.
