I am leaving for a charter boat trip to BVI on Saturday. Unfortunately, the boat does not include that most indespensible applicance for the tropics - the blender. So, I will take one of my spare ones down (they don't call me blender boy for nothing!), but we are not planning to check luggage. Now that sharp-pointed scissors up to 4" are allowed, do you think I will get this through the TSA? The blades are 1" long at best. I know from search that ORD confiscated a blender last year, but that was before the relaxation on carry-on items.
