The Victorinox SwissCard Lite, which includes a small knife and other tools, generally cannot be brought on a plane in carry-on luggage due to security regulations. The presence of a blade, even if it is less than three inches, typically leads to confiscation by airport security. - According to a Reddit discussion, carrying a Swiss Army card with a blade is not allowed, and it is highly likely to be confiscated during security checks[1]. - A review on Walletopia also mentions that the TSA and other airport security organizations are known to confiscate these types of cards, despite some travelers managing to carry them without issues[2]. - The Swiss Knife Shop notes that the SwissCard Lite includes a small knife among its 13 tools, which would likely be problematic for air travel[3]. - Travel Stack Exchange advises that any Swiss Army card with a blade or blade-like implement should be checked in or have the blade removed before traveling to avoid confiscation[5]. Therefore, it is advisable to either check the SwissCard Lite in your luggage or remove the blade before attempting to bring it on a plane. Citations: [1]

Do my fingernails count as blades to the TSA?

No, your fingernails do not count as blades to the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) and are allowed through airport security checkpoints.[4] The TSA specifically permits nail clippers to be carried on airplanes in both carry-on and checked baggage.[4] Nail clippers are considered grooming tools rather than prohibited items like knives or other blades. While sharp objects like knives and scissors have restrictions on their size and type when carried onto planes, natural fingernails pose no risk and are not regulated by the TSA.[4] As long as you are not carrying any separate blades or other prohibited items, your natural fingernails will not be an issue when going through airport screening.
