Right after the bombing in Okalahoma City -- Good old Timothy, may he burn in hell, my next trip was a bit more strutured. But I was always to take my tatting shuttles and threads with me. I also hd a very pretty pendant and within the scollops there were tiny blades. The worse damage you do was to possible draw barely a drop of blood and then only if you actually forced it on someone's skin. So I was able to take those items with me. Managed to get some stuff done and ended up giving lessons to two women on the flight. That was fun. Fortunately I was only carrying my super inexpensive shuttles and not the ones that were made for me, so I was able to let each lady take a small ball of thread and a shuttle with her. And then took their addresses and mailed them copies of the beginners book on Tatting. Heard from each of them a couple of times, but then it drifted off, which was fine. I just thought it was sweet that they were interested enough to want to learn.
