Not a big deal bro. It's the BIG ones that can potentially be a problem.

Don't worry about them, just inject. Be sure you are not in a vein first, then go for it. Small air bubbles will not hurt if injecting into muscle, I do it all the time.

Yeah, I think you can airate a fish tank too.

Yeah, it takes a relatively large amt. injected directly into a vein to kill ya. Small amt. of air wont hurt you. Regardless, we say it is safe practice to try and get most/all of the air bubbles out.

Yup. It takes close to 3CC's of air directly injected into a vein. So a little air into an IM won't hurt ya...but like Icha said...call it safe practice to keep all air out.
