Most airports in the u.s. allow knitting needles, but the tsa agent gets the final say at his/her discretion. Some of us have never had a problem, and others of us have horror stories. Have you ever confiscated knitting needles? If so, why? If I want to knit on a plane (assuming my destination airport is not one of the ones that bans it) what suggestions do you have?

Was your llama ever sheared, and did you get to do anything with the fleece? If so, what did you make?

I guess that brings me to my question's part b. What is the use of publishing lists of good and bad items if the tsa agents don't have to understand or acknowledge their own rules? It can cost people boatloads on money - not that I'd try to bring my whole set of circs but they cost me $85 and were a bargain at that price - most needle sets are much more. Then tsa confiscates them due to one officer's discretion... and that's supposed to be OK. I wonder how the OP feels about this.
