I've had TSA guys ask me about my picks once or twice, a snarky, 
well-directed "I'm a Consulting Security Professional" has had them send 
me on my way with a scowl. (since the picks were in my laptop bag at the 
time). I'm assuming you don't want to check a bag, since 99% of the 
stuff that raises ire through TSA these will go fine in checked luggage.

(It's also worth re-mentioning the extra care and attention (in the good 
way!) your checked luggage will get if you check in a firearm with it. 
Better locks, special handling, nobody snooping through it without 
reason or throwing it 50 feet down a hole..)
