I carry the Mil-Tac pen daily. It uses space pen refills (which is handy when working in freezers running at -40*C). When going through TSA, it is in my briefcase with my other pens and my flashlights. As soon as everything comes through the detector, the Mil-Tac goes into my chest pocket, my E2D goes in my right front pocket, and my Inova X5 goes in my left front pocket.

I would think that anyone that says this or that pen is just as good for defense as a purpose built pen has most likely never handled one.

As for aluminum not setting off the metal detectors, I wouldn't be so sure. I had a foil gum wrapper in my pocket flying out of Richmond and it set the detector off.
