We flew from Houston, TX (IAH) to Orlando, FL for our Disney trip a couple of weeks ago.
I brought along my GFG project.
My needles/seam ripper/small pointed scissors all fit in my 4"x4" travel sewing kit - breezed through security.
The only problem we had was on the return trip.
My DH was "scanned" in the x-ray thing.
The scanning wasn't the problem.
The fact that our 3 year old DD was NOT scanned was the problem.
She cried and cried! She said she wanted to be "special" and be scanned.
The TSA Agent was so nice. He came over and told her that she was just too pretty to get scanned.
:D
