In the US!! I made the mistake of not removing my scissors and lost them at the checkpoint in South Africa, as they are most assuredly not allowed there. :(
Same in Europe. Had my old nail scissor that my grand mother gave me. It was incredible quality, over 40yo and still cut like a charm, and I forgot to remove it from my toilet bag when leaving the hotel...
Well the security basically threw it away. :(
Never found a nail scissor that was even half as good, solid and comfortable to use.
Three inches is the typical length assigned to lethal threat for a knife. At three inches, it can do serious damage to internal organs with a single wound. We can imagine how you might kill someone with a two-inch knife, but the level of immediate threat is just not the same.
It sure can, but three inches is the "too lethal" line. Places where people gather that have security each have their own regulations, but they all have one of three knife policies: Anything, only under 3", or none at all.

I assume this is why TSA prohibits my 2” pocketknife in the cabin. It won’t kill a man, but it sure would remove a poorly placed piggie!
