Is basically my Victorinox Cybertool, without the knife blade or the saw.
FAA regs allow nail scisors and small scisors if they've got rounded tips -- just not the long-bladed kind. I think they allow knife blades up to one inch long, or thereabouts. That's actually acceptable for a geek Swiss Army knife that's going to be used in the office rather than in a hike through the backwoods. Meanwhile, having the other widgets -- bottle opener, can opener, screwdriver with interchangeable bits, mini-pliers, tweezers and about 256Mb of FLASH -- would be really handy.
For added bonus points they could do one with a modular clip-on long-bladed knife/saw combi that you could remove and stick in your hold luggage while flying.
