Perhaps a pocket laser beam could precision burn the film leader into shape.

    I used to carry nail scissors and cut the leaders by hand, that was 
until the
    post-9/11 situation. All the fuss about what you could - and couldn't - 
carry on
    with you meant no more nail scissors. Now I just use the leader on the 
film and
    wind it round the take-up spool one extra time or so.
    
    It has incidentally affected my carbon footprint; I take trains 
internationally
    where I can and often drive. I fly far less than I used to.
