A bike tool is a good idea, because knifes are not too useful in the fixing of bikes, so they are less likley to have one.
and i have to add: A chain break on a multi tool? Awesome!

Metal detectors tend to thwart that strategy. (Unless, of course, you have a plastic/ceramic tool which is unlikely) Personally I try to avoid taking anything metal and at all pointed (like a screwdriver) to school since so much of what a "weapon" is is open to interpretation. I always found it rather ironic that (at least in my area) a plastic knife for spreading butter, cutting sandwiches, etc. is considered a weapon with an automatic 365 day suspension and police notification whereas my bookbag is not and it weighs well over 20lbs and could easily break bones/cause other serious harm. (BTW, I agree, the chain breaker is sweet)
