Transportation Security Inspectors Tough On Military With Nail Clippers-Fiction!

Transportation Security Inspectors Tough On Military With Nail Clippers-Fiction!

Summary of eRumor:

This is a forwarded email with an account of an incident where Transportation Security Administration inspectors harassed members of the U.S. military over the possession of finger nail clippers.
 

The Truth:

Nail Clippers are not among the prohibited item list according to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). 

The TSA also said that this account is a fabrication and could not have possibly happened because their inspectors do not have access to the private terminals used by members of the military at the Indianapolis International Airport.

They explained this myth on their TSA blog site.
