Oh my goodness folks... they are JUST scissors!
Nothing but nothing is worth having a hassle with my son in law over a $20 - $25 item.
I've used some things inappropriately in life and now so has he. We learn and maybe make the same mistake again but it is not earth scattering event in my opinion.
I've never understood the drama this repeatedly seems to cause. There are scissors in our house that cost lots of money and if they got ruined I'd be sad but not wanting to call out a lynching mob.
Hopefully you explained (possibly even for a 3rd or 4th time) about scissors, got an apology and hopefully he will replace them. If he was cutting decking material, was he there doing you a favor that would have cost you money if someone else did it? If your "good" scissors were "out" and not where he was use to seeing them, could he have thought they were the "everyday" scissors since he doesn't use/see them all the time?
Take a breath...there are far worse things in life.
Off my soapbox and back to the grindstone.

DSIL grabbed my 7" Karen Kay Buckley scissors (the purple handled ones) and cut the plastic ties on some decking material -- they were with some fabric scraps I was working with. He knows where I keep utility scissors -- they were about 3 steps away in a drawer. I tried them on fabric and they don't quite cut right -- sigh. I really love those scissors - guess I will put them on my Christmas list again.... (At least they are still made DH used a favorite pair of embroidery scissors to cut wire and I never could replace them.)
