If the tips of the scissors were travelling at the speed light the base of the blades (right before where the blades meet) would be traveling at some lesser speed that could be determined by knowing the length of the scissor blades.
Speed is distance over time (ie: kilometers per hour, miles per hour, etc.). The base is traveling a vastly shorter distance in the same amount of time so it must be going slower.
