Is a 105 cm steel wire a suspect item in a hand baggage?

For my next biking holiday in Asia I need to carry with me also the necessary to attach the panniers to the bike I will be renting at my destination.
An item among these is a 105 cm long steel wire, between 1 and 2 mm thick. (see picture)
As far as I know it is not among the forbidden items, but I am not sure it would not rise alarm in some zealous staff member.
Since having it removed from my hand baggage would be a huge inconvenience for my trip, should I consider other solutions for having it at destination or can I safely take it on board with me?
Best Answer
It's not explicitly banned. However, a security personnel can ban it under the wide rule of (any item that can cause harm or can be used as a weapon).
I think this wire will pass under the x-ray as a charger wire or something, it does not look dangerous to me.
Security personnel usually choose to confiscate/deny uncategorized items based on their knowledge. If they know what it is they will usually allow it, if not they will go safe and deny it.
If it raises a flag, your best bet is to hope that you get checked by a security officer who knows what this wire is used for.
