Since he cant have a screw driver how would he open it mid air?
You don't want to know where he smuggled the screwdriver.
Bash it against "something" until you've cracked the case open?

You'd be very, very surprised what's actually allowed sometimes. For example...
Carry On Bags: ! Yes (Special Instructions) Checked Bags: Yes
Empty shell casings are allowed in carry-on bag as long as the projectile is no longer intact. They are allowed only if the primer has been removed or has been discharged. If the projectile is attached & the powder has been drilled out, it is considered a replica and not allowed in carry-on. !The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint.
