There are so many variations on things like multi-tools, scissors, etc that if they started specifying which models can and can't, then the screening process would grind to a halt as staff looked up each and every item in the database. | |

| Feb 15, 2015 at 7:30 | comment | added | Mark | Security regulations prohibit scary-looking objects, or objects with a scary description. Occasionally, genuinely dangerous objects are prohibited, but this isn't universal: the last time I flew, I took three deadly weapons through security and nobody batted an eye. | |
| Feb 15, 2015 at 7:03 | comment | added | verve | Right but are nail files allowed worldwide? My confusion is that they say small scissors are allowed under certain number of cm...they never say they have to be rounded... and moustache/beauty scissors usually have sharp points. | |

| Feb 14, 2015 at 9:33 | comment | added | user13044 | Because it has a knife. | |
