Tweezers, unfortunately, are not allowed, while ear plugs are. For a complete list in Canada go to :

Depends where you are leaving from. From US, tweezers are listed as an allowed carryon item. Link to TSA site below.

If Canada check out CATSA site.

Tweezers are A OKAY!! Earplugs are allowed and are the most important to your comfort! Enjoy your trip TV!

Nope you can pack them but you'll have to check in your bag.

Ms.Hockey!

go to tsa.gov this is the offical government website that does the airport security, it will list what you can and can not take in your carry on.

I used to work for an airline. We were not allowed to answer those types of questions, all security questions were forwarded to TSA agents.

Oh and YES they are! I just went onto tsa.gove and read what you can and can't take and you CAN take them! I posted the list and the link below!~
