I love the ladies who have the metal knitting needles. Those are okay, but my 4 oz of Toothpaste aren't allowed?! I mean, seriously, if I'm going to kill someone, the knitting needles would be much more effective than toothpaste

I had a very small pair of embroidery scissors taken from me by an insolent baggage checker in the Atlanta airport. And this was after they had been allowed in my own small airport here in Gainesville, FL. I actually begged him not to take them. They had been a Christmas present from my 8 yr. old g'daughter and I loved them. He threw them in the trash can and smirked while doing it. I had foolishly left them in my carry-on bag after I had made a trip by car. They were so small, but he said "the rules in Gainesville aren't the rules in Atlanta." I hate to say this, but I really loathe those people! They are so full of themselves.

You can use the cutter on dental floss.

Thanks for all the info - I am flying to see my grandbabies in a few weeks and have a long layover.
Thanks,
