Hi Francis. Last year, I flew to Europe ( Dallas, London, Amsterdam)
and back with a sock on metal dpn's, and no one said any thing. Most
of the time the needles will be allowed, but it is up to the
individual screener or attendant. If the attendant on board does not
allow you to knit, I think they just make you put it away. I only
received interested questions like what are you making. I would carry
a self addressed stamped envelop, so you can mail it home or to your
designation if security doesn't allow it for some reason. But I have
heard from lots of knitters who fly with a whole variety of needles
without a problem. In London I had to throw out my babies juice
boxes, but they let me keep my needles.
