First time flying with carry on only. Can I carry double edged razor blades with me?
Upvote:9
TSA explicitly prohibits it. If you want, you have to use a disposable razor in which blades cannot be removed easily.

Attempt at a more generic answer:
- You can always check online at https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/all In this example just put in "razor" in the search box and it will tell you exactly what the rules are. In this case "blades" are NOT allowed
- While this website only covers US rules, I have never seen any significant discrepancy between US and other countries, so this is good starting point for international travel as well
- Be prepared for inconsistencies. I've had security officers remove items that were clearly allowed. I also got through with items that were clearly not allowed. Just go with flow and don't argue (it won't help). Just let them toss the item and buy a new one (unless it's something valuable).
- Every check point has somewhat different rules: what has to come out of bag, liquids, shoes, belt, jackets, etc. Just look around and see what other people are doing and who gets yelled at.
- If you travel with somewhat unusual items, you can choose to take them out proactively. In my case this has been Rubik's Cubes (no idea why) and a measurement microphone (which is a longish metal object).
- Be prepared for inconsistencies: I have been yelled for not taking stuff out and I have been yelled at for taking stuff out. Just ignore it.
- Occasionally you may find the label "SSSS" on your boarding pass. Congratulations: you have won the lottery for "Secondary Security Screening Selection", i.e. you will be pulled out for a separate manual screening. Head to security a bit earlier and make sure you carry-on is squeaky clean.
