I'd even gone through the trouble of dremel'ing off the foil-cutter blade on a "double-knuckle" corkscrew in order to comply with the "no blades" rule. I was able to exit the U.S. with it fine, but Mexico security refused it for simply the corkscrew part (and I wasn't willing to argue about it). I'd just like to reaffirm pretty much every aspect of his experience and recommendations. It's great to see so many overlaps between my favorite travel-gear and his.

I carry one of those cheap corkscrews where you pull off the corkscrew cover and insert it through the hole at the top of the corkscrew. BUT they're really crappy corkscrews and I've sometimes had a lot of trouble getting the cork out and have ended up opening bottles in the bathroom because I was afraid I'd get wine flying everywhere. And I've even had one of those confiscated in Spain.
