One silly suggestion: pack a ruler, or bring scissors with built-in ruler on the blade.

About a year ago, I had a delay (about 15 minutes) while traveling with 1.5" inch scissors while waiting for the TSO to find a ruler to verify that the blades were smaller than 4 inches. On a future trip, when I had scissors with a ruler on the blade, it was much easier. (Granted, I can tell by looking that 1-2" scissors are not 4", but I guess this is not part of TSO training school)
