| I'm usually on the quilting sister site to this one... But thought you all might know the answer to this one better.
I will be taking a very long int'l flight in the near future & want to do some needle work. When restrictions got very strict a few years back, I just stopped bringing stuff completely. Now, I want to know what types of craft supplies are allowed on flights. Scissors, needles, etc. Thanks. |

| Scissors of less than 4" are now permitted as are needles. Circular cutters are not permitted; oddly these are touted as OK by most shops. However, despite these rules, security agents may still confiscate anything they think may be a weapon. If you argue you may not catch your flight. I haven't had a problem on domestic flights. The TSA web site suggests you bring a SASE in case their agent is disagreeable. |

| Thanks Julia! I figured ya'll would know this better than most anyone. I guess to be safe, I can take a pair of Kinder scissors since all I need to do is cut threads & such. But I do have the pendant cutter which I absolutely love. |

| The pendant cutter seems like a safe choice; probably should have one for around the house anyway. What is a SASE? Needles don't matter? or the size of your scroll frame, I hope? Remember when you could just get onto an airplane! Now your blood pressure rises for fear of being stripped down for a tapestry needle! |
