Visiting Europe with 60CSX and iQ3600, is the pointy stylus frowned upon?

Hi all,

Planning to go to Europe next year. Will take iQ3600 mailny as a PDA,
and the CSX loaded with navigator Europe v8.
I just made a few notes into the iQ, when I looked at this rather
poiny stylus.
Has anybody making similar trips ever been asked about this at the
check-in?
Seems they might look at this as a weapon if they took a closer look
at it. Someone might take along a partially drilled out wine bottle
cork and stuff the blunt end of the stylus into it as a non-slip
handle. Perhaps I should leave this thing at home?
Any thoughts or observations on this are much welcomed.
I am leaving next year, plenty of time to contemplate this.

Cheers, Frank

Is it more dangerous than a pen or pencil (both passed by TSA)? No.

If you ask, they will ban it (at least for you).
