The worst part is that I had a corkscrew but it was in my checked luggage. I used to carry it in my roll-on, but ever since the FAA got spooked about people taking over an aircraft with a corkscrew, I can't carry it on anymore.
I wonder if they could make one of those
Ah-So cork pullers with rounded tips. Those should be allowable, no?</font>
Yes, but those cork-pullers require a bit more skill to be used. If you're not careful, the cork end up being forced into the bottle. Some higher-end restaurants and bars prefer it because you get the cork out undamanged.
