Yes, I've also heard that they don't allow clippers with nail files on them. The ones I'm taking don't have a file.
I'm surprised, because I've also heard that they don't allow the round Clover thread cutter thingys, yet several people have said that they haven't had a problem with taking them on. I personally see them as less of a safety issue than even a small pair of scissors, but what do I know... :-/
I've been thinking about this all day, and I think I'm going to take some Sashiko with me because I don't need a hoop like I do for regular embroidery, some needles and needle threader, a ball of perle cotton, and the clippers, all in a neat and tidy, small but transparent container. Hopefully the TSA agent will be someone that does needlework and in a good mood that day!
