They are getting more and more lenient, but it would be a sad thing to get confiscated if you run across a grumpy security guard.
Perhaps getting more lenient in USA and Canada but my experience of flying both as a domestic airline passenger and as a private pilot in Britain is they seem to be getting stricter all the time, escpecially about things like digital cameras and coins which all must go through the x-ray and they are confiscating anything remotely sharp like a nailfile or scissors. When taking two passengers flying recently I somehow triggered the metal detector and had to undergo a full search before being allowed airside.
