Can you bring emery sandpaper sheets on a plane?

Version covered

Sandpaper sheets are abrasive but not the same as a blade; keep sheets flat and protected from moisture. This answer covers the ordinary form of the item at a US checkpoint. A separate liquid, battery, blade or chemical in the kit may have its own rule.
