Whats been everyone's experience with security handling cigar cutters and torches?

Note: security will be a bit lighter on me as i am military traveling in uniform.

Don't risk either, regulation says the cutter should be fine. However, my sister was TSA or whatever and out of confusion or trolling they would take them from people all the time. Half the time the guards are shady and if they can make sense out of confiscating something that's perfectly okay to have they will just so they can have it for themselves.
