Thank you for clarifying! ^ It's those knitting needles that make me shudder! Ironic how scissors are really just two knife blades, hinged.

When they revised the reg.s to re-allow 7 " screwdriver/"tools" and 4" sharp pointy scissors in carry-ons, I remember thinking that those can be used just like knives. Hence my error. Mahalo!
