They can be confiscated.Mrsdrron always has a pair-usually from a cheap Asian source costing no more than $2.For every 25 sectors approx she loses one at security.

Don't risk it! I've had them confiscated before. Nowadays I rely on the forks from the QP if I feel like jabbing someone in the eyes while they're making a beeline for the party pies! The forks are much more effective as a weapon than the tweezers.

But the forks aren't so good when you need to dig out a splinter!

 

[dede]

It depends on the size of the splinter!

How much do trees hate you if you're getting splinters capable of being dug out with a fork?!

My wife got away with it 5 times out of 6 this year

Now I am worried, which airline am I likely to get splinters on? Maybe we should avoid them if there plane is made out of wood.

Never had a problem with tweezers.

Why are nail files banned?

Because they are pointy and look like little metal knives which are also banned.

Rex Hunt tried the QP fork trick and he came off second best. Leave the tweezers and buy a cheap pair when you need them.
