Tweezer in carry-on?

[jeanbean]

Will a tweezer in a carry-on bag cause problems at embarkation? I am bringing one for my emergency kit and not sure where I should pack it.

No problem for your ship, but an airline might not let you on with it.

Thanks Nitemare. We're being dropped off by the pier since we live so close.

Hi jeanbean, You won't have any problem getting on the ship. I carry much more than that in our Emergency Kit...

Tweezers are classified as weapons of mass destruction for airline purposes. I'm sure you've heard of people being tweezed to death.

 

I'm Italian and having to go hrs. without tweezing is agonizing.

The carry-on restrictions used by airlines (no scissors, etc.) are NOT used by cruise lines. You will not have problems with any typical cosmetic implements in your carry-on when embarking the ship. But they will confiscate liquor!

You're cracking me up, Roz!!

Imsulin,

 

Italians take their facial hair tweezing seriously!

Two years ago I got caught with a metal nail file in my carry on bag.... had to throw it out.

Tweezers are allowed in carry on's now according to the TSA website.

Tweezers are allowed Bigal? What great news! They're my security blanket - LOL! You never know when a stray chin hair will pop up!

Roz,

 

I am glad I am not the only one that cannot live without my tweezers.

 

It drives my hubby crazy - I think I must get a wild look in my eye when I fill that wild chin hair. Maybe that is why I am attracted to guys with beards :D

i work for the TSA (take scissors away):p and they are okay to put in your carry bag. i am in chicago at they are okay. if you are not sure here is a test take them and tap yourself in your palm or on your wrist if you think it is painful and it hurts then put them in a baggie and put in your checked bag but being the person who may examine your bag there is a 99.9% that they are fine to carry with you.

enjoy
