I carried my Schrade Switch-It every day in the little seam pocket of my carpenter’s jeans (as was the style at the time) and the only flak I ever caught for it was one day the principal spotting it and telling me he didn’t want to see me with my “pager” at school anymore.
I told him he had my scout’s honor that he would never see me with a pager so long as I lived. Yes, this sailed right over his head. I still didn’t get into trouble, though, which is surprising given the sheer variety of other stupid and highly spurious things that somehow got me in trouble in school.
The closest i came to getting caught is in biology i etched some notches into a toothpick to work an experiment easier. Another student asked how i altered the toothpick, i offered him my knife and he said something along the lines of “just notch mine and i won’t tell anyone what I saw”.

Oh sir it’s not a pager… it’s a vibrator
