In short
You can carry a scissors in cabin baggage within limits. Scissors are treated as sharp objects. Small scissors with short blades may be permitted in cabin baggage, but larger scissors must go in checked baggage. Because interpretation varies by screener and airline, pack them in checked baggage to be safe.
