Here’s the good news that will make your eyebrows (and your soul) relax: Yes, you can carry tweezers on a plane. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has officially ruled that tweezers are allowed in both carry-on bags and checked luggage. No need to stuff them in your sock like a contraband candy bar.
But before you start packing a whole grooming toolkit, let’s dig into the why and the what if. The TSA’s logic is simple: tweezers are not considered a weapon. They’re more like a really focused pair of pliers for your face.
Think about it—if you tried to fight off a pilot with tweezers, you’d just end up giving him a very precise unibrow. Not very scary, right? That’s exactly what the TSA thought, too.
