They've got rounded tips so they couldn't be used as a 'weapon' but they cut thread and fabric wonderfully. During back to school sales, they are super cheap too. Many places have them for less than a dollar a pair. At that price, if security took them away, it's no big investment lost. I don't travel so I have no experience with the TSA, but the scissors look a lot like what you bought except for having metal blades. And they come in nice bright colors so they're easy to find once you lay them down. I've got them all over the house!NeverBoredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17864997245809631313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-34827244942272790922012-08-14T09:00:09.603-04:002012-08-14T09:00:09.603-04:00What time are you usually on line?

I got through security in Vancouver, but got picked up in Frankfurt and denied having scissors - when we found them, the lady laughed and said "Baby scissors" and okayed me to go through. They were small embroidery scissors.Terri in BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362926850196381066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-23194898436920373612012-08-13T23:09:54.014-04:002012-08-13T23:09:54.014-04:00Watched about 45 minutes of your webcam tonight. ...Watched about 45 minutes of your webcam tonight.

I had it in my carry on so I could do a little handwork. I put it in an eyeglass case to protect it and so they could clearly see on the scanner that it was a scissors. No one questioned it. herky907https://www.blogger.com/profile/08545654863111138113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-17342415671962845142012-08-13T21:02:01.881-04:002012-08-13T21:02:01.881-04:00We had the same kind of day.

We brought the truck home and unloaded the bags of top soil. Then we took to car to get gas, pick up boxes for MUST pick up in the morning, and eat lunch. Hope to sew tomorrow.GeeMahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08355228171956132666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-55722390129129598932012-08-13T20:38:53.524-04:002012-08-13T20:38:53.524-04:00You-ho.....Bonnie!
