We were on a trip several years ago and I had a wool sweater with metal buttons on. Luckily I had a turtle neck on underneath the sweater. When I went thru security they told me I had to take my sweater off because of the metal buttons. Why? I don't like to fly anyway so maybe from now on we will drive .

Several years ago, I was coming home from the Houston Quilt show and had a carry on bag with supplies from a class I took that morning. I completely forgot that I had my rotary cutter and some smaller scissors in my bag. The security people never raised one eye about the rotary scissors, but had a fit about the scissors. I fully expected that they would require that I remove the blade from the cutter, but they did not. Little did they know what kind of damage could be done with the rotary cutter....

In the Clotilda catalogue, they sell a round pendant that has slots around the edge that has very small razors in them to trim & clip threads. Next time I fly, I'm going to use it, I had my scissors conficated before & they were very small.

As my US Marine pals say - you can injure someone with a pencil - so what they think they are achieving by taking a ladies sewing needle I dont know!!!!
