Either it's somewhere "safe" or it's hidden somewhere on his person via some form of black magic, so most people wouldn't even guess he still had it. For if it's merely hidden somewhere to be found, there's a chance Salem and her minions could locate it. But if he still has it, then they'd need to take him down to obtain it. Naturally he didn't anticipate being poisoned by a scorpion Faunus, but it's merely a human error on his part, he can't anticipate everything. I think now we're seeing how human Qrow really is, he lacks Ozpin's centuries of wisdom and foresight and is thus in a real bind. How he gets out of it, we'll just have to wait and see.
