There was a recent thread dicussing switchblades in Texas.
An article in the Austin paper today concerns a man who tried to clear security at DFW. I couldn't find an online copy of the article, but did find a forum post by the guy in question.
He has an Audi, which apparently has a key that folds into a little box (so that the key doesn't poke a hole in your pants pocket, according to the article). I've seen VW keys that are similar. You push a button and the key part pops out. This was ruled a switchblade by TSA and confiscated. The keys are $300 to replace.
Just a heads up, you might want to stick your Audi and VW keys in your checked baggage along with your guns and knives.
