This could have all gone down the tubes with the latest terror attack. Aside from having to stay in one's seat for the last hour of flight, you can't have anything in your lap. I think I may be reduced to a tatting shuttle next time I fly.....

I flew yesterday on a domestic flight. CNN has sensationalized things as usual. Reading newspapers online, they said passengers on domestic flights wouldn't see any difference, though things would be tightened behind the scenes.
I left on Christmas Eve & returned yesterday. Security didn't take any longer, & the process wasn't any different from our point of view. Nothing was different on the flight either regarding blankets, books & walking around. I can't speak for international flights, but domestic ones haven’t changed.
In-laws arrived on Christmas day & the 26th & didn't notice any changes either.
I'd check the TSA site before leaving, but other than that, don't fret about your flight.
I didn't test knitting needles. My current project isn't good travel knitting. |

Ceil, Tatting is not a bad thing. I tat as well, but am too uncoordinated for the shuttle. I use a tatting needle. The sz 8 that I use is really bendable, so I have to place it in a book or magazine, to keep them straight much less getting them taken. I rwally enjoy tatting as much as I do knitting. But at least with my tatting stuff it does not take as much room, and I can take it just about anywhere with me. The big plus to that is the needles do not make noise at all.

Hi
I flew out from Tullamarine last week to Adelaide and had my needles with the knitting on confiscated. They weren't even metal, luckily they waited for me to take the knitting off the needle and put it on a piece of wool.
Just to see what happened coming back from Adelaide, I again took them through the security part and they were absolutely fine. Although I had my brother standing by just in case they did confiscate my knitting, so he could take it home and mail it to me.
Knit in peace and harmony.
