Needlepoint?
I have read the TSA literature all about knitting needles. What about a 2 inch dull needlepoint needle? Can it come on the plane. Needlepoint keeps me sane during long boring meetings why not my 8hr flight this week. Anyone know if it will be taken from me at screening?

I think you're probably all right. At least I sat beside a lady doing crochet. Is that the same thing?

You'll be fine. Needles are okay, even the big needlepoint ones. Just make sure your thread cutting scissors are small enough to avoid a bag check - or even better yet, just bring a thread cutter instead.
(I don't do needle point, but I have done a bit of counted cross stitch from time to time.)
