      I’m trying to imagine which action hero would be the best candidate for taking over a cockpit by dual wielding collar stiffeners, and can’t come up with anything.

      Dude I take my knitting needles on board all the damn time with no issue. I guarantee I can fuck you up more drastically with my slender nickel-plated metal needles than your little collar stiffeners. That’s messed up.

        I’ve always decided against taking my knitting with me in case they take my needles. They are usually 2.5cm circulars, and the wooden ones are even sharper than the metal ones. I could definitely damage someone with them - though I would rather not get blood on my work in progress.

          They specifically call them out as OK as long as they’re under a certain size if I recall correctly.

            Maybe that’s why I get away with mine so easily; I always knit on circulars, even when knitting flat, so the needles themselves are pretty short.
