I've approached this in a whole other way. When I check in, I hand over my very small beard trimming scissors and my 15-cent bic razor [I still shave under the neck and a few square centimetres of my face] and ask them to find a small box and check it through as baggage. In this way, maybe they will learn how stupid it is to restrict such items from their best customers who fly over 150K miles each year. The packages always come out at the special handling belt before the rest of the bags for a flight. The alternative on a 2 or 3-day trip on which I have all the clothes I need in a small shoulder bag, is to buy a new pair of scissors every time I arrive somewhere, and leaving them behind as a tip to the housekeeper in the hotel.
