Ah yes. How I fondly recall the good old days traveling with my cattle prod.

I got hauled into the TSA office for carrying a torch lighter. I think I was put on the "keep an eye on this guy" list.

My dad has a knee replacement. Clearing security is a real treat for him. The way they treat him, you'd think he's the only guy in the world running around with an artificial joint. TSA is a joke. Personally, I'd be happy to sacrifice some of my post-9/11 "safety" for a bit more convenience. Ah the old days when it took 15 seconds to get through security. Seriously, does anyone honestly not think that the days of hijacking an airplane with a box cutter are long gone?

Yeah, but just imagine the damage you could do with a snow globe.

Really? Knitting needles are a-okay? I wouldn't have thought that. Guess that means crochet hooks would probably be okay, too? I don't plan on flying somewhere anytime soon, but that's good to know. However, I wouldn't be able to bring my knife to cut the yarn, so that could be a bit of a problem. I suppose a cigar cutter could snip the thread fine, but I'd rather do without than have one of those things with me. Guess I'd just have to start a pattern that doesn't call for multiple colors or is a mile-a-minute pattern. Or maybe just bring a few books...

You can bring a small pair of scissors with the rounded ends, I think they are used for cutting babies fingernails. My wife crochets and brings them with her.

Apparently a Fondue set is a no-no here.

I got pulled up for having one I received as a gift. The tools made me post it to myself!!

Seems hot cheese is considered a dangerous weapon.
