Just a thought, but did anyone mention that some nail clippers have knife blades, which btw are prohibited ??</font>
Are you going to keep posting with the second handle?

My nail clippers had no knife blade, the moron screener knew it, yet still wanted me to "relinquish" them. I don't know her motivation for demanding I throw away a "permitted item," and in talking to the supervisor I demanded that she (and anyone else working at MIA who is unclear of the rules) receive remedial training on the "prohibited item" and "permitted item" lists.

I kept the clippers (just like the four previous times thru the very same checkpoint since the TSA took over).
