ambericaSomeone on one of my knitting forums was asking about whether needles are now permitted on airplanes, and if certain types of needles (aluminum as opposed to plastic) might still be prohibited. Another person helped out by posting a link to the latest listing of Permitted and Prohibited items. If I ever fly and want to bring knitting along with me, I will bring a printout of it to show any security personnel who might not know the rules and try to take my needles away.
I don't know why I find this list so funny, but I do. (PDF file, opens in new window.)
Maybe it's the fact that they specifically list "Toy Transformer Robots" but not any other specific toys.
Maybe it's the fact that they need to explain that sabers, swords, and nunchakus are NOT allowed as Carry-On luggage.
Or perhaps it's the fact that they have sections for Explosive Materials, Flammable Items, and "Disabling Chemicals and Other Dangerous Items" wherein all items listed are NOT ALLOWED as carry-on or checked baggage. Once again, I'm sitting here yelling, "Duh!" and laughing.
Oh people. Why are they so silly?
