You never know the vagaries of TSA.
I actually made it to Chicago once with a folding knife in my purse (I had forgotten it was in there and I guess it didn't show up because of everything else in my purse). However, TSA found it when I was leaving Chicago to go home.
Glad you were able to get the Studio and dies home. Enjoy them! Check out the Accuquilt website and Ebony Love's website for nifty ideas.
