but since I can't carry them onto the plane I will have to check them in as luggage. Can I put them in a ziplock bag and check-in the ziplock bag as luggage?

This could be fun!!!!!

Put it in a box with an old fashioned alarm clock and some water dyed red. It should make for an interesting test!

you're saying you have absolutely no luggage to check in ?

If that's the case, just stuff it in a carry-on (you have to be carrying on something I'm sure)... and if they find it... let them decide. They cost like $1.

they'll take you to the back and gang-rape you.

Then they'll throw the clippers away and tell you to get on the plane.

i once (soon after 9/11) went through security and they found a wrench in my bag, now this wrench was about, max 4 inches long, but more like 2 inches long.

they said i couldnt take it on the plane and they would have to keep it or they could check it in for me.

i told them just to keep it, but i wish now that i had said that i wanted them to check it, imagine waiting at the luggage claim for a 2 inch wrench :)

i guess they thought i was gonna take the plane apart bolt by bolt

Disassemble the nailclippers, then swallow them. Might want to put them into a condom.

Buy them at the destination airport gift shop. Shouldn't be more than a couple dollars. Faster than waiting for the checked luggage to arrive.

I am going to a place that doesn't have nailclippers for sale. A yacht in the middle of the Caribbean.

But that defeats the purpose. I want to check in a manila envelope and have them move it from plane to plane across the northern hemisphere...so that I have nail clippers next week.

I could eat my fingernails if I really didn't have nail clippers but I want to see their reaction.

And a commercial airliner will land on this yacht and let you out?

If someone tried to hijack my plane using a pair of nail clippers...

Okay, I'm not even going to finish the sentence.
