In the US I have had good luck taking my “seatbelt cutter” through TSA explaining I am a paramedic and it was a life safety device if there was an incident with the aircraft. It gets looked at about 50% of the time.
When the TSA first allowed small amounts of liquids and gels to be carried in plastic bags, I went on a dive trip, traveling from Denver to Yap with a large group of divers. I was the only one who put my liquids in my checked bag. We left Denver, and everyone else went through security with their bags full of liquids. We stopped in Houston, and it was the same thing. We stopped in Hawai'i and Guam--no problems. When we lined up for the final leg at Palau, the announcement was made that Palau does not operate under TSA rules, so every bag full of liquids was collected. Once in Yap, I had to share my liquids until people could get them replaced.
