Most will advise to throw in a cheap cutter and leave your nice one at home.....just in case gremlins decide to eat it.

Cutter in carry on is no problem, let alone in checked baggage.
I take my cutters with me all the time in my computer bag pocket that goes on board with me.
They are not looking for cigar cutters. They are looking for box cutters. Now God forbid they should stop and think for a moment that a cigar cutter split in two generally becomes two box cutters.

Nope. Not on their list of liquids, gels, or box cutters.

Scottie,
Just remember, they are looking for those pesky box cutters.
Someone really messed them up badly by changing the word box with cigar.
When they reference their cheat sheet, they don't see any mention of cigar cutters on there so therefore, they are OK.

It is basically an outcome of a process driven organization with blinders on, specifically following the process that has been set forth for them, with no concept of individual thought. Now go ahead and try to get over on 3.1 ounces of liquid as opposed to 3. That there my friend my get you shot.

You ever notice that on the liquids or gels, they use to allow 3.5 ounces but not it is 3? They must all fit in a one quart zip lock bag. Going back to the "process" discussion, you can fit as many 3 ounces of the same thing you want in a one quart bag and that is OK. If my math serves me right, that is a whole lot of 3 ounces you can fit in one bag. That is OK yet God forbid you try to get over with 3.1 ounces of one container only. I find it funny but sad.
