On a related note, the last time I flew, security made me hand over my nail clippers. But to my surprise, she broke off the swing out "knife" and gave the clippers back to me. It's fine with me since I only use the clipper part anyway. But I wonder, is this a new policy or is this just being done at a few security check points?

This has been mentioned by others as well. I think it's a common, if not a standard, procedure - happened to me in Boston 12/1. (I thought I had packed the clippers without the file. Returning from SFO, they didn't even pull the clippers out to look at them.)
