Go to the TSA website (tsa.gov I think) and they have a section that tells you what you can take on the plane. When I flew out to Hawaii this last May I used a pair of my granddaughter's little snub nosed scissors and had no problems.

Also is there a shop on Oahu, Kauai or Maui that I absolutely have to see? Any other suggestions will be welcomed.

You never know what the TSA is going to grab. They took my husband's Cross Pen, one that is dad gave him 45 years ago. He had traveled all over the world with it with no problem....until a TSA agent wanted a Cross pen, I guess. He told my husband that he could stab someone with it.....I can tell you who he wanted to stab with it! and he was on the ground.

I travel with a pair of mini scissors in my bag for my yarn. I like to crochet and knit while waiting and flying (wooden hooks or needles). The blades are like maybe a half of an inch. Here's a link to an etsy seller that sells them.
