This means that every week I fly with at least 3 or 4 of the "pre-threaded needle" sewing kits

I've yet to be stopped. I've also yet to be stopped about the nail clippers that are in my laptop bag, every week since the 11th.

My mom was stopped with the sewing needle last week...She told them to keep the thing...

But here's the puzzler to me...

Cleaned out my laptop bag yesterday that I had carried on and gone through security since 9/11 in:

Saginaw MI (3 times), Tokyo (twice), Hong Kong, San Fran, Phoenix, and Orlando.

In this bag I discovered, not one, but 2 pocketknifes...Very small (maybe 1.5 inch blades and they're on a keychain), buried in my bag that definitely pre-dated 9/11. But with them taking sewing needles and nail clippers, I dunno how these passed through so many times. Scary thought if you ask me, especially the international airports.
