I've never heard of anyone getting arrested for carrying any of these things - they'd just be confiscated.
This was hyperbole, but confiscation is still annoying. It's easy to, eg, leave a tweezers in your makeup bag if you're travelling with only one bag, and then have to chuck it out at the airport. Another time I had to leave a good razor with my mum because for some reason I was leaving my other bag behind and only had one to fly back with. Plus it's the principle of the thing. I hate the unnecessary paranoia.
The actual travelling bit is kept to an absolute minium.
This is a negative point for me. I hate waiting around, don't enjoy airport shopping or most of the food, and like to be on the move. I love staring out the windows of trains.
