That's the only thing I've been able to find for sure. Regular needles seem to be on an airport-by-airport basis. I'll leave the needle card (with things like the 2" half-circle quilting needles, and 6" sculpting needles) in checked luggage, but I expect I'll be able to get a few of my smaller conventional needles through... and if not, well, they're cheap. When Nathan was of a portable age, it often occurred to me that he'd be the ideal cover for a shoplifter, at least for certain items (and at certain times of the year). We always came into stores with an array of blankets and whatnot, and I often gave him stuff to check out while we were shopping... he'd hold small cans, whatever. I always had to frisk him and his carrier in the checkout line to make sure we weren't forgetting anything. -- Karen J.
