My best memory of flying with the team was trying to get through security with a dial caliper I had in my backpack. They caught it on the x-ray and thought it was a pickaxe or something. They let me keep it, but only just. I would not recommend traveling with tools if you can help it. Even if it's allowed, it may cause delays if they can't tell on the x-ray. You also shouldn't keep calculators and spare laptop batteries in the same pocket, apparently that can look like one very not ok item on the x-ray...
