Why: TSA's checklist says not to pack items such as box cutters, utility knives and razors in carry-on luggage. Safety-cartridge razors, where the blade cannot be removed, are an exception.

Huh, didn't know that: TSA's checklist runs in order: before packing, when packing, before leaving for the airport, before entering the checkpoint.
