Mrs. BearX220 and I will shortly do SEA-FRA-DUB-PHL-SEA (LH as far as DUB, thence US) and she would like to have her circular bamboo knitting needles in cabin. She has discovered conflicting wisdom regarding the likelihood of security or airline staff objecting, particularly in the European airports and/or with LH staff. Some reports indicate the needles are forcibly surrendered before boarding. Does anyone have experience or advice? Thanks in advance as always.
