I use the Fisker's kid's scissors all the time at home. I find them much easier to handle than full sized scissors. I buy them when they are on clearance (usually after school starts) at Walmart for 50 cents or so. When they get dull, I toss and take out a new pair. I think the kid's scissors would comply with the TSA guidelines, but I haven't been in an airport in decades, so I am not 100% sure.
