The TSA thinks so... you won't like it if they catch you trying to smugle one into the passenger compartment of a commercial aircraft... checked bags are OK though. Quote HistoryQuoted:

So what about EDC why? They are essentially one time use, single purpose items. Steel knives will be useful for what you will use a knife for on a daily basis and still be useful as a defensive tool. The only reason to have one is to get through a metal detector......and usually those places are really punitive about weapons. You'd be better off finding an non-weapon-looking item that is specifically permitted that is "dual purpose" so that you can't get legally fucked. |

I think you should assume a polymer knife will be treated as stringently as (if not more so than) a steel knife. So you should be asking yourself if this polymer knife would be legal to carry if it were made of steel...
I don't know anything about Illinois knife laws, but the following may be helpful: http://www.knifeup.com/illinois-knife-law |

I just thought the spikes and such were an interesting concept and wondered if they served any real purpose. I carry a assisted opening knife daily. I do agree, I cant imagine trying to use this as an option to bypass security would be just dumb

Considering that they are widely known to be pretty useless as cutting tools and that they are almost universally advertised as weapons, I think you'd have a hard time passing it off as anything else.
