Useless must-have for Xmas

[Sgeir]

How about this from http://www.victorinox.ch/newsite/en/index.htm:

"It is the first time that an original Swiss Army Knife has been equipped with a USB Memory. The SWISSMEMORY ™ USB is a trendy accessory, a perfect gift and business tool. The small all-rounder integrates numerous useful tools and is available in two versions: one with a stainless steel blade, scissors, a nail file with screwdriver, a ballpoint pen and a red light. The Flight version includes a red LED light and a ballpoint pen only and is especially aimed at people who like to work in the airplane while travelling."

Ah. I wondered about that too, but when I looked again I realised that you can buy the handy "Flight" version that is basically an innovative Swiss Army Knife without a blade. It's probably a mobo thing, so I won't bother.

That's why the "Flight" version of this Swiss Army "Knife" doesn't actually have a knife... only a red LED and a ball-point pen... and of course the USB compatible memory... )

They waived the security ban on penknifes if you fly from Switzerland (to other European destinations at least),

Reason?

Swiss penknife manufacturers complained that their business was suffering.

But if the pen is mightier than the sword, .....

surely it must be more dangerous than an ittie-bittie penknife?
