After walking down the concourse a few steps, I had second thoughts so turned around and asked for a complaint form. The TSA agents were polite, but apparently uninformed as I found out later when I looked at the forbidden/allowed list on the TSA Web site. At least they didn't make me take my sneakers off like DEN and MCI does.

Were they long jeweler's screwdrivers or the tiny eye glass kit with the little screwdriver you can buy in any convenience store?
