[Nfb-krafters-korner] traveling with a knitting tool?

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

I keep all my craft tools in a pencil case, usually along with a craft item like plastic camvis.  This way all my craft items are all together and they can tell what there purpose is.  
The only time I ever had anything taken from me, was in a court building when I had my camera and a key ring with sizzors in my purse.  Items were returned.  Now I know what to leave behind when going there, but since my divorce is over, hopefully will never have to go there again!

I recently took my knitting needles and yarn in my tote bag on the trip to National Convention and back to California.  Nobody said anything about it. 
I also had my slate and styllus and nobody said anything about it either.  I guess it depends on how big of a deal you make about what you've got in your bag.  In my case, they're more worried about my C-Pap machine that I use for sleeping than anything else I'm carrying.

Regards,

Denise

Hi. I took knitting needles on the plane with no problem.
