Never have I gone back landside and checked a bag. I figure I'll just get new cuticle scissors every 6 months, as will the TSA agent

that's stupid. I looked on their site and it says shorter than 4 inches are allowed in checked, but none in carry on. Here we can take scissors shorder than 6cm in carryon. why can't everyone have the same rules? when I was in sumatra, I was allowed any liquids through, the shop was even next to security, they didn't care.
