What is the little black stick Layne is tapping on counters, windows and doors throughout the movie? Just something dangling off his keychain?

There was a pretty horrific, racist name for those that I won't repeat, but it's a weapon.

Sorry, but your answer sounds more like "I know the name of the thing, but I don't tell you".

Ah, so it's like a small keychain baton? I Googled and found a product called a Monadnock 5 1/2" Persuader Kubaton Keyholder. It looks like a possibility.

I also like to know the name. Some years ago, I read the name of the thing (but I've forgotten), precisely in a message in this boards, but with the IMDb's bad habit of delete the old posts, that post has disappeared.

Look up this item and see what you think: Monadnock 5 1/2" Persuader Kubaton Keyholder

Seems close to me.
