Think about it. Could you stab someone with tweezers? Technically, yes. But you’d have to be a very dedicated villain. It’s like worrying about a plastic fork.
Can Tweezers Go in Carry On Luggage
Security’s job is to prevent worst-case scenarios. So, they group tweezers with “sharp objects” sometimes. It’s silly, but rules are rules.

You know the ones—precision tweezers with needle-like tips. Those might raise an eyebrow. If an agent decides they’re a “tool,” they could stop you.
I once had a friend whose curved tweezers were flagged in Dubai. The guy held them up and said, “This could hurt someone.” She replied, “It could, but it’s really for my eyebrows.” He laughed and let her go. Charm works, people.
Pro tip: Put tweezers in your makeup bag or a small pouch. Don’t wave them around like a trophy. That’s just asking for a pat-down.
