[Gocamino] Hiking poles, toenail scissors and Swiss Army knives

[C.Christopher Rush]

Hola and hugs to all--in this post 9/11 world, does anyone have any suggestions on how to get poles, scissors and knives from JFK to Bilbao via British Air?

The best solution I've come up with is to pack them up in a separate bag to check through, since I want to keep my pack with me on the plane.

Any other ideas are greatly appreciated.
