The main reason I can see for the need to bring scissors on board is for those who only have one carry on bag. There are plenty of overnight flyers who pack very light and only bring with them enough for carry on.
Psycho Dad... I too lament the fact that I can't carry my leatherman. It's always checked though. Except one time in the UK when I forgot it in my carry on and got sent back to the counter to check my luggage. Luckily I had another bag in my carryon and just checked it, empty but for my leatherman. The only other time was the time my leather man was in my carry on and I didn't notice it until I got home. I flew from Nice to Frankfurt and Frankfurt to Toronto without anyone saying boo about it.
