I've had issues with taking buttons on the plane. But the TSA in St. Louis do some serious racial profiling (which is quite unfortunate). I know of one team who had a gentleman of Indian descent on the team that had to throw away all of his buttons while other kids that had fewer buttons, but still had buttons nonetheless got to keep theirs. Safest thing is to just keep them in your checked bag, but if you want to take a few in your carry-on you're probably fine.
