Not wishing to sound like a bumpkin. I've worked for long periods in Glasgow and Birmingham and for short periods in London and have never been stopped by the police (apart from a couple of occasions in my youth when I thoroughly deserved it).

It probably isnt as much as a problem for those who travel around in a company car or van for example.
I was travelling to and from venues by metro with a metal toolbox, to get to those places meant travelling via underground and temporary metal detectors set up. That meant pretty much being stopped every time by those that were using them, and because they were temporary you could never tell which metro station would have them up to avoid the hastle.
