This thread reminds me of the charging Lion joke.
"Just throw a handful of shit in its face".
"Where would I find a pile of shit?"
"Don't worry, if one charges at you there will be a pile at your feet".
Improvise and survive!

That would depend on what type of Kubotan you use. Some are sharpened at the end, some have spikes attached and of course these would be illegal. In its basic form, a ballpoint pen is a primitive kubotan and a purpose made one is simply a bar with ridges down the length. Add a keyring and some keys and you have a mini flail and a kubotan.
Same for me. Couple of days a week in the London office, couple of times a month on planes but won't be 'carrying' or changing my routine. Been doing it so long now, through the end of the main IRA period, 7/7 etc (and was in NYC on 9/11) - if your number is up, it's up. I'm still far more likely to cop it in a car accident or have a heart attack in front of the TV.
Most people who work in London I encounter are the same to be honest - after such events the trains/tube seem to be extra quiet for a couple of days with people looking around a bit more intently, people will talk about it at work for a bit but things very quickly go back to normal. Only very occasionally does someone make a material lifestyle change as a result.

Sorry, no it won't. Try and get through customs at Gatwick with that and you will end up with a criminal record. It is exactly what I had on me when I was stopped.
