Metro: X-Ray Scanner and Aerosols

I've taken easily 100 trips by train in China. ONCE, only, years ago, at the Kunming train station, the guy at the barrier tried to take away my Swiss army knife (I'd had it in my pocket). It has sentimental value, as well as being a damn good knife, and I refused, told him if I couldn't keep it I wouldn't take the train. He told me quietly just to stuff it in the bottom of the bag and then let me through.

The guys doing the checking had a large pile of pocket knives they'd confiscated in a basket - I think perhaps they did well for themselves.
Note that this was not the Metro.
