Air travel and quilting?

Air travel and quilting?
Hi, All,
I have a couple of long flights ahead of me and I'd like to use the time to get some hand piecing done. Does anyone know what's allowed and what's not? If I could bring my little embroidery scissors and my hand sewing needles, I'll be all set, but I have a feeling those scissors, teeny as they are, are not allowed on flights anymore. Anyone know the answer?
Thanks!

Hopefully you will find your answer so you can take a project with you. I've seen people with knitting needles so you would think that a small pair of scissors would be ok. A list might be posted on your airlines website.

Here's a helpful site: http://www.tsa.gov/sites/default/fil...s_brochure.pdf. It states that scissors with blades longer than 4" (which is a pretty big scissor) are not permitted in a carry-on bag. I have traveled with those little embroidery scissors and not had problems.
