I suspect that most of the talk about banning certain items, including
eyelash curlers, belongs under 'urban legend' or 'let's see how ridiculous
something has to be, before people start questioning it.'
For the record, I've had many people tell me that they've been asked to put
away their knitting needles, and that was long before those idiots did what
they did.
This is not a new rule. It's an already existing one.
If we spent more time giving this subject a rest, rather than beating it to
death (this same subject came up on another list I'm on. It seems I'm
reading those messages over here, almost word for word) on different lists,
it would go away.
Frankly, I'm tired of it. I don't care if I can't knit on a plane, and I'm
a white knuckle flyer. You can't knit through the most dangerous parts of
the journey, which is the take off and landing. So what good does the
knitting do you?
Read a book. Take along colored pencils and chart something. Talk to your
fellow seat mate. Take a trank. Eat chocolate. Talk to a shrink.
Find a list devoted to the topic of why you can't knit on airplanes, or
start one, and take the subject over there.
Just stop talking about how to get around rules that will prevent more
idiots from trying the same thing.
