Heather, airport security permits all knitting needles now.  However, the 
circular needles are better to be sure you don't bother anyone next to you. 
If you have a pair of the Iowa folding scissors, you can take them.  I think 
the rules say up to five-inch blades, but the folding ones are great.  You 
can also buy round yarn cutters with slots into which you slide the yarn to 
cut it.

Happy traveling!

Ramona

Okay, dumb question - why are the circular ones okay but the other ones 
aren't? I'm using circular ones anyway, but geesh, if you really wanted to 
do something rotten, I'd think it could be accompished either way. 
Hmmmm..grin!

Take ONLY circular needles to be sure they don't get taken away from you! 
And, I take a letter opener instead of scissor to be sure I don't lose my 
scissor, too.
I knit everywhere I travel - the only place I had any trouble with knitting 
needles was in Frankfort, GR. but I do not take any chances - I use 
circulars because I know there will be no problems. Lynda

I've taken up knitting just in the last month (as mentioned in the last 
post.) I'm about to leave again for another month on the road. I'll be 
spending a lot of time in airplanes and airports and want to take my 
knitting with me. Will TSA give me any hassle about the needles?
