Can I bring gossamer razor on plane cabin ?

Seriously? No.

I’d say that most closely fits the description “box cutter” of the options on the TSA site.  So that means no.

And bear in mind that box cutters were used by the 9/11 hijackers, so expect some sensitivity if you try.

I’m going to guess a resounding NO.

On a related note, I heard a (possibly apocryphal) anecdote of a woman arguing with TSA screeners who were confiscating her bottle of ice.    “But it’s not a liquid!”

I highly doubt that would be allowed, but as a side I had one of those years ago when it was sold here at on BPL and I would not call it safe! I was cutting a small zip tie (and was being careful ) and sliced right through two of my fingers it was a bloody mess I never experienced that with a knife I use THIS KNIFE  at .4 oz (it would not be allowed in the cabin on a flight either) or box cutter and promptly through them away not worth it to me.

Oh I have brought small scissors and crochet hooks before so I was wondering since is small …  thanks

That was a good tsa website thanks

Ok looks like I can bring a small nail clipper – is there another cutting – plane approve that anyone else brings or just don’t need one one the trail really …

Saw no ski poles – assuming same thing as hiking poles – I may just check in the backpacking

Unfortunately, they won’t let you take hiking poles.  Years ago, I tried covering the carbide tip with plastic, but they pointed out the carbide tip that appeared on scanner under the rubber cap.

“On a related note, I heard a (possibly apocryphal) anecdote of a woman arguing with TSA screeners who were confiscating her bottle of ice.    “But it’s not a liquid!”

Yes, people think if they freeze the water bottle it is not a liquid and can be carried on.

Some scissors could make it through TSA in checked baggage or carry-on – unless your agent is grumpy.

The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint.

That’s because it’s explicitly allowed by the TSA…

I do it all the time. Occasionally a TSA agent raises an eyebrow, but they’re always quickly educated by a peer or superior.

I learned something new.

That’s interesting, thanks.   I was vaguely wondering if there was some justification for it, based upon whatever explosive liquids they are concerned about having a much lower freezing point, or just looking obviously different from ice when in solid form.   But I have no clear idea just what liquids they are worried about.   And certainly I assumed that the TSA would take the most conservative approach possible, rather than actually trying to accommodate normal travelers.

I typically check a bag, but my wife is happy with this for everyday use: https://www.swissarmy.com/us/en/Products/Swiss-Army-Knives/Small-Pocket-Knives/Jetsetter/p/0.6263. I could see getting by with that if I didn’t want to check a bag.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>If you don’t want to check a bag just stop at a Walmart or large gas station.  You should be able to find a knife for $10 or less.</p>

Sure.

Go for it.

Will probably need to insert it into a convenient body cavity however.

Always wondered how that finger-slicing design got named “Derma-Safe.” Creative marketing indeed!

Horrible – decided on small nail clippers – I feel the pain. !

Thanks Luke – goodbidea

Ice is allowed, but you’ll probably be taken aside for inspection.  One of my scouts has diabetes and transported his insulin on the plane to/from Philmont in a Thermos with ice in it. His dad was with us and preemptively spoke to the TSA agent.

Yesterday in Sydney my wife had her cuticle scissors and nail scissors confiscated.  Neither had blades that were 3/4 of an inch long.  They had to bring in a supervisor to make the call.   Since she had flown about 30 times with those, she was not pleased….
