No law against carrying either a stainless steel retractable pen ($10 at Staples) or a flashlight.

More and more I just carry my Surefire in my front pants pocket.

Mostly for pragmatic purposes but also because it has other applications if needed. I honestly feel like I would be more likely to use a striking weapon than I would a knife in the very unlikely scenario that I'd have to be in that position, but that's just me.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Cold Steel Blackthorn Walking Stick.

Not as classy as a real Blackthorn from the "Old Country" but just as effective.

Which color?

OD Green. Only one I was guaranteed to get before the weekend.

when I fly, I always have a carabineer handy. I hang it off my pack/carry on. preferably an open D type. I generally don't carry two though. they start to look like handcuffs and might elicit a second glance from some.

Doesn't it rain a lot in NY city?

And don't watermelons sometimes attack people?

What about carrying something like a Kubaton? They can be very effective in disabling a perp. https://www.google.com/search?q=kubaton&num=20&newwindow=1&espv=2&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=Uf2iVIauJsGZgwTRx4LQCA&ved=0CCsQsAQ&biw=1920&bih=971
