Sooooo, I never intend to lose them again. and, flying as a blind person is not a very nice thing to do anyway  if you are alone - they can be so nasty to you that you think you are a criminal - and you are treated as one, too. So I take no chances on anything that even remotely might cause me a problem any more. I'll be leaving for puerto rico shortly with my circular needles. No problems!
