So here’s your cheat sheet: Yes, bring tweezers on a plane in your carry-on. They’re allowed 99% of the time. But if you’re nervous, or if your flight is going through a country with medieval security vibes, just toss them in your checked bag. The risk of a cavity search over a stray eyebrow hair is not worth it.
And remember: the next time you’re in that security line, clutching your tweezers like a precious relic, just smile. Because the person behind you is probably worrying about their solid deodorant—and that’s a whole other article. Safe travels, and keep those brows on point.
