Although the TSA website says scissors with blades less than four inches are allowed on airplanes, the individual officers conducting the screening have the authority to confiscate anything they think could be used as a weapon. As a result, hundreds of pairs of scissors are confiscated daily at American airports.

This spider is made from 5 pairs of stainless trim scissors that were confiscated at an airport security checkpoint. They're larger than the cuticle scissors, but smaller than the barber scissors.

Please be aware that the photo shows a spider that has already sold, and the one you receive will be unique. Each spider is hand-made, one at a time, and show individual characteristics.

I am making the spiders as the orders come in. I will send them out on a first come, first served basis. When I receive payment, I make the spider and send it out as soon as possible. Delivery should take between 1 and 4 weeks. Thanks for looking.
