It was somewhere here in the states, they started going nuts over my wife's carry on. They usually find something she forgot to take out, but this time they had emptied it out entirely, scanned the bag again, and started looking under the lining.

Super bright agent number one says "Got It" and from the crevice in the bottom of the bag removed one of those hotel sewing kits and promptly starts the lecture on how you can't bring scissors on the plane, they will have to take the kit, etc.

She's like those scissors don't even cut the thread in the kit, be our guest.

It was pretty comical, looking at the stuff they took out and spread out all over the table that could actually be used to cause some serious injury to people, yet they didn't let those scissors get past them, no sir.
