I have a round point pair of friskars that I take on planes. Even the ones in my overnight essentials bag have been taken in airports in the past and they were only manicure scissors. I was extremely upset about it becuase I was on my return journey from a round the world trip. I had left US flown to Germany from Germany to Hong Kong to Singapore. On the way back, I was only flying from Singapore, stop in Hong Kong to LA back to GA and they were taken in Singapore.
