They might not like it and my try to hassle you, but I think this would be more like MKEBound's KHIAI bag.
Ah, but knowing well the reactions of our fine public employees at TSA BWI...had one of their suits threaten me with a LEO search when he saw me using a pair scissors on my bag after the C/P a few weeks ago. Told me I was not permitted to have any scissors and that I must have smuggled them through the checkpoint. The LEO looking at him and saying he thought scissors were legal as long as they were as small as mine were was priceless.
