I had a chart clamp confiscated from me in Winnipeg some years back. It was one of those $0.50 spring clamps from Home Despot that everyone used to hold their books in the DC-9.
I went through security, and they told me they had to take it because it was a "tool". I wasn't about to argue at 0600 in the morning over a 50 cent item, but it goes to show that there was weirdness on both sides of the border.
