If you claim that those features are important to you, I may have to re-think some of the stereotypes that my dad taught me!

Well excuuuuuuuusssse me... but I really do use those two features intensely.

I wake up every morning due to my watch's alarm, and I need the chronometer to measure the performance of processes and machines at work.

What is this "work" thing of which you speak? I'm retired.

And I don't even own a watch. The only times that I need to be somewhere at a particular time is when one of my ladies wants to take me out to dinner.

 

I have a simple solution:

1. Don't fly
2. If you must fly, don't carry anything valuable

I usually put the valuables in my checked and personally locked gun case. Yes, anything can be stolen but generally a lost checked gun is on a very high priority list to be located and the law is only I (in a non-emergency) can open the gun case for TSA inspection.

And you're saying I'm the braggart?

 

I flew last January, for the first time in 15 years. In March I got a new wallet and as I was cleaning out the old one I came across a "credit card knife" https://www.vat19.com/item/card-sharp-credit-card-folding-knife
I would have removed it, if I knew (remembered) it was there.. I went through TSA checkpoints 4 times and it wasn't found...

 

Now that you told them, they will "upgrade" their systems to detect it. I'm sure some corporation is thanking you at this moment.
