I had a pair of nail clippers confiscated entering IAD a few years ago. Just inside the security terminal was the convenience store where i had purchased that set of nail clippers, so I purchased a new set and took them on the plane.

This can be taken one more notch up ridiculousness scale, if the confiscated nail clippers were just taken in the back, re-packed and then sold as you exit out of the security area. "Sir, if you wait half an hour you can come back and purchase your old clippers back"
