Apparently the logic needs to be better laid out than it was in this case for that claim to stand.
Hmmm, razor blade threat vs scissors? A pair of 4 inch long scissors are a lethal weapon if used as such. A razor blade would take much longer and be more difficult to wield due to blood washing across it making it slippery. So which one does TSA focus on? You could snap a DVD/CD in half and make an improvised slashing weapon. When will TSA get its collective act together?
