Knitting needles are allowed. So are toy weapons "if not realistic replicas". But I get your point. I just don't totally agree.

they are allowed now. but in the wake of 9/11 and under the boosts of catch phrases like "homeland security" and "war on terrorism" the TSA has been making their own rules. try it out. see if you can get on a plane with items that arent on their 'banned' list. i'll give you a nickel for each item they refuse to let you pass with.

I guarantee I won't have a problem at my local airport.
If I fly out of another, I have a list that's published by the TSA that lists permitted and prohibited items. Any problems and I'll talk to the screener supervisor.
99% of the problems are being caused by idiots who don't know what their own agency allows.

As a matter of principle, I'm avoiding airports, and other nodes of 'protected' transportation. I'll drive.

My sister looked over, nearly flipped out, and told my little old, white haired mother to put them away. Mom was pretty oblivious to the whole thing.
I guess she was lucky some government ninny wasn't onboard or I'm sure the plane would have had to make an emergency landing somewhere, and maybe with an F-15 esccorting it. :banghead: geegee
Not necessarily. My sister flew here to Texas about 2 months ago, with my 84 year old mother. Once the plane was up and away, Mom pulls out a pair of scissors and begins to trim a finger nail!

In going to VA from Oakland last week I dutifully took off my metal rim glasses, belt with metal buckle, Chapstick tube, wallet with coins and ball point pen out and placed them in the bag to be X-rayed. All went well.
Going from Washington-Dulles I repeated the ceremony and was stopped when the detector buzzed at the thin metal hook on my trousers and the nails in my shoes.
After being home a couple of days I was cleaning out my carry on bag and found a pocket knife in the bottom of one pocket!!! Surprised the heck out of me, but I am even more surprised it was not picked up on either checkout.

Last year when travelling to Chicago, I had two small swiss knives in my computer bag, they called me out on one, but missed the other. They were in the same pocket. Granny musta' missed the other one or something.
