I just returned from a business trip to Bulgaria, and I'm already packing for Munich (this week) and Lithuania (next week). What I do: I'm selling peace and freedom -- as seen by the US defense industry...
In Bulgaria boarding with three flashlights was no issue. Heck, on Sunday nobody even cared. I was done with security in under three minutes. Some other funny examples:

- In Romania my backpack was checked four times in the x-ray. What was the problem? A Night-Ops Gladius? Nah, a Mont Blanc fountain pen!!! (It was unscrewed and inspected.) Can you believe this!
- In Vienna the security after the x-ray started to inspect my former SureFire E1L. I politely explained what it was. Response: yeah, I know SureFire, but I've never seen this model before...
- Traveling to the UK with a SureFire E2D. Self-defense is an offense in the UK or something like this I've heard... After all the stories about criminal activity, illegal weapons imports, and bans, I've decided to avoid the UK as much as possible anyway. Heathrow (aka Deathrow) is another reason...

- Checking in my flash-lights in the luggage. I don't do it anymore. First I risk losing it and second after the US battery requirements, I do not carry anything with or without batteries in my check-in luggage anymore, except my old Sony world-receiver.
