insect pins and airport security

[Liz Day]

 >I've even heard that insect pins themselves may very likely fail to pass 
through the security checks -

True?   I was planning on hand-carrying a box of specimens to NYC.   I 
guess I should ask the airlines whether this will be a problem.   I hate to 
entrust them to baggage check.  :-(
