Will my first aid kit have trouble with airport security?

I recently put together a fairly comprehensive (but portable) first aid kit. I really didn't have a purpose for it other than being prepared, but I am going to want to bring it when I travel. So will it be ok, or will I have to take anything out?

Here are the contents (only some are worrisome):

-Assorted gauze pads (and roll gauze) and non-stick pads

-CPR mask

-Tape

-Assorted band-aids

-SWAT tourniquet

-ACE wrap

-Emergency Blanket

-Suture strips

-0.5 g Triple antibiotic packets

-Alcohol wipes

-2.5 g burn jel

-Trauma shears

-Metal tweezer

-4 oz. sterile eye wash (saline)

-Flashlight

I think that's it. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

    You may not be able to carry it on board a plane.

    However it will *probably* be ok in your checked luggage. Check with the airlines...

    Put it in your checked luggage. You can't carry this on. There are shears in it which will not be allowed in carrry on. Also, if you carry it on, the burn gel and eye wash will have to go into your 1-quart bag for liquids.

    The 4oz sterile eye wash will not be because you are only allowed to carry on 3oz containers that can fit into one sandwich bag

    Okay in a checked bag, not carry on. If you carry all this you must have a big suitcase to check.

    Fine in checked baggage.
