I use a utility knife with a nice sharp blade. Usually I try to dig in a little with the point and then peel back a bit of trace to make sure it's open. Be careful to hold things so that if the knife slips you don't lose part of a finger.

I've tried a Dremel as well, but found that it's far too easy for the cutter to catch and walk around, gouging all sorts of stuff you didn't intend.
