For lost scissors, they should just go look in my kid’s rooms. That is where I always find them. And none of them have lived with us for 10 years. They hoarded all the scissors always.

Lucky that I was nearby. Because I was the one who found the missing scissors. They were in this box.

How Japanese.

If running with scissors is bad, just imagine how much worse flying with them would be.

On September 8, 2001 I flew back from Japan. As was my custom I had secured my suitcases with duct tape. In my carry-on was a small pair of scissors to cut the tape for customs inspection. They were placed in a envelope which was sealed and I signed over the seal. They were then given to the flight crew and I was told that when I landed at LAX they would be returned to me. They were.

When I boarded the domestic flight I asked if they would like to secure my scissors as well. They said no.

Japan takes scissor security seriously.

This is silly. Even two weeks after 911, the airlines had stainless steel knives with first class meals.

Were they samurai sword scissors?

Or lefty safety scissors?

If tools are not accounted for in the aircraft hangar, nothing happens until they're found.

Nothing can ruin a day like a socket in an engine inlet....
