Oh, and on the thread-cutting front, may I sing the praise of nail clippers? They go nicely through both thread and airport security, and won't poke holes in your bag (or project) if tossed in without a case/cover, like pointy embroidery scissors will.
(Airport security has been known to have issues with the round thread cutter pendants, because they're basically a round razor in a protective case...that can be taken apart.)
