If you're talking about tsa: https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/multi-tools

In general, you are prohibited from traveling with sharp objects in your carry-on bags. Multi-tools (multipurpose tools) with knives of any length are prohibited. Please pack these items in your checked bags. Multi-tools (multipurpose tools) with scissors less than 4 inches may be placed in carry-on bags.

but don't forget (☞゚ヮ゚)☞

The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint.

The square with crimped edges bags have plastic in the paper so that the edges will fuse closed.

Yeah, they called those "silk" for a while but I'm pretty sure they've always been plastic.

I looked into this a few years ago and what I found suggested that the tied or stapled bags should be fine. It's the crimped edges bags you want to watch out for; plastic particles in the paper are how the edges are fused.

Does anyone remember the study guides on sparknotes.com?

There was also thespark.com and they started sparkmatch.com... which became okcupid.

It feels like it was another lifetime ago.

They used their digits to make it!

Do we not get to count all the foreskins he's eaten?

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Give the entirety of Lana'i to the Native Hawaiians via Hawaiian Home Lands and boot Larry Ellison out into the sea on a raft or something.
