Interesting. There was a report elsewhere that a security person would not allow a nail clipper to pass, even after the FAA removed the prohibition. Mr. M-16 said that he agreed with the passenger that it a nailclipper was a permitted item, but nonetheless could not allow the person to continue unless the security person said it was okay.
