Comment on When the government forces you to act like a clown for no apparent reason

Years ago, my now deceased grandfather and uncle were flying together. My grandfather had a full ass pair of scissors in his fanny pack, because he was a practical man and having scissors on your person at all times is useful.

My uncle scanned the row of x-ray machines, and picked the line with the TSA agent that was inspecting booties closer than the x-ray screen.

My grandpa successfully made the trip with his scissors.

That reminds me of when the Los Angeles Clippers (an NBA team, originally from San Diego, named after the famous clipper ships) had a mascot named “Scissors”. Very popular mascot up until they started using him to promote exercise programs for children, including the now-infamous “Run With Scissors”.

  Using Augusten Burroughs for their marketing was their first mistake.

You can bring scissors on a plane.

  Grooming scissors, sure. Full size scissors? Not a chance.

    Yes, full size scissors. Their website says up to 4 inches.

    I definitely have scissors larger than 4"
