Let's just call it the working practical definition, based on the fifty or so responses I've read on similar threads in a variety of wetshaving forums. At least half those who try to bring blades through-- even blades in a DE razor-- lose them.

I know people who get clearly permissable items, specifically listed as such, confiscated, such as fishing gear. Don't get me started on TSA policy. There's little consistency between agents and sites, and IMO, little safety offered by current standards, incompetence all over the place (for example, last week's nabbing of a gun, but failure to figure out who was carrying it!!!)-- all in all, a tremendously ill-reasoned overresponse to situations that can be almost entirely avoided by keeping the cockpit doors locked when a terrorist knocks.
