That’s very useful information. Since high school, I have usually carried a Swiss Army knife (Super Tinker model, because it has a Phillips screwdriver) and probably had it with me at the last London IETF, but didn’t get caught. Can you point me at a definition of “bladed weapon” to know what I can and can’t have in the UK?This might be useful information to have in the meeting wiki as well.-Jim
