When we travel that is how I do it and never have any trouble. I always make sure I put my scissors in with my shoes(not in the shoes) leave them out in plain sight so they can see them and not think you are hiding something. I have never had any problems. If snips work for you they would be great to take. As long as the blades are 4" or less they should be fine.

Last time I traveled, my scissors measured 3 1/2" and I got pulled over at every check point and my carryons were searched.
I advise bringing the smallest scissors possible, take them out of the bag and put them in the container with your shoes to be scanned, and then you should go right on through :D:D:D
