I tried a search for this but could not come up with any firm info. Are they allowing razors blades (the disposable kind, like Track 2 or Mach 3) in carry on bags? I can't image what kind of damage you could do with one (other than a really nasty nick), but I just wanted to be sure. I checked the AA website, but it wasn't very specific. Thanks.

The word is that nothing sharp is allowed in carry-on, so I think it lets disposables out. I know, you can't do much damage, but what harm can you do with a nail clipper? They aren't allowed either. But, for the definitive response, I suggest you call your airline. Only they can tell you your airport's response to your question.

They ask that any sharp implement not be on your carry-on's, they say they will confiscate them from you. I forgot to remove my nail clippers from my carry-on, it went thru the x-ray & it was not caught. You might as well pack your disposable razors w/ your checked bag to make sure they don't get taken, or buy them when you reach your destination.

Sure, that's right....no sharp carry ons....
but apparently no big deal to carry on a GUN or KNIFE!!
(Apparently security missed each of these at different airports earlier this week, what with all the busy searching for nail clippers and hat pins).

We flew from Calgary to Chicago about ten days ago and had disposable razors, nail clippers, nail files etc. taken.
However, when flying out of Chicago three days later, having purchased new razors, they were allowed. Each flight was with American Airlines.

How stringent they are depends more on the diligence of staff you deal with than the airline's policies. We flew (and cruised) two weeks ago. Security at both airport and port confiscated anything remotely sharp--disposable razors included. Both had large ziplock bags filled with all manner of items (from the sublime to the ridiculous).

I check anything that might raise suspicion. btw: I have always checked my trusty Swiss Army Knife, just in case--would hate to lose it.

A coworker here at my office was stopped for having an EYELASH CURLER in her carryon bag. She said the security guard thought it was some sort of scissors, and she had to demonstrate it for him in order to be able to keep it...

Since Sept 11 my disposable razor and I have travelled through PVD, LGA, Charlotte, and Dulles. I always carry on all my bags and my bags have yet to be searched. There is no consistency, each airport is doing (or not doing) it's own thing.
