Upper Left - My house key set with my wife car fob and key. I put the pocket knife back on today since this project just reminded me that I had removed it anticipating going though security a few weeks ago. Special items include a new LED penlight (bright blue), a small penknife, and a small pen which I just found (the last one broke). The chipped blue triangle thing is my old LED penlight whose clip broke. There is also a Habitat for Humanity token which might not be visible.

Bottom left is my supermarket tags which are normall on my house chain but which I unclipped and artfully fanned for this photo.

Middle is my work set which includes my car key, office magentic key, and my Securid FOB. Securid works by changing the code every minute so that seeing the numbers is no help to a hacker, especially without the serial number and other information. The keys are designed so that if they are lost/stolen they will not be of use to hackers.

The others keyfobs are ones I have had lying around but had to pare down for weight. They include a 'working' mini tricorder, a multitool and a mini crackerjacks box (with toy surprise inside).

The tiny bronze penknife is one I used before upgrading. My favorite (not shown) is temporarily lost. It is a 3/4 inch bronze peanut with a 1/2 inch blade. I used to carry it because noone would ever be able to stand up in a court and say with a straight face that a 3/4 inch peanut is a concealed weapon. It was just right for opening boxes until the blade got gunked up with packing adhesive.

BTW, Hot Pastrami, I blurred the visible key edges.
