Really, I want to know so I can try to replicate it.

Or, I'm thinking to just continue with my normal routine of carrying a (MB) ballpoint for my flights...

I've got to hand it to FT, though. Just about every travel-related question has been asked, whether you've thought of the question before or not... ^
You can usually wedge it somewhere and set your bag in the right direction.

Unfortunately, my efforts to prevent a leak didn't work out, and my Namiki Vanishing Point spilled its guts all over the zip-lock bag I had it in on my last trip.
