Can you bring tweezers and nail scissors on a plane?

Nail clippers, nail-trimming scissors and cuticle cutters are totally fine in your carry-on bag. But if the blades are over 6 cm in length, they will need to be packed inside your checked luggage (this same rule applies to small tools such as calipers and drill bits). Tweezers under 6 cm are permitted, too.
