    Mr. Carson,<br>
    <br>
    This has been a joking poke at some of the absurdities which have
    become common place in the world today.  These issues do show how
    biased the rules are becoming.  At some point, we may be crying that
    we had not screamed before.<br>

          <br>
          I have never had my knitting needles taken from me on a
          flight. I do use circular needles, to avoid poking my
          seatmates, but have never had the needles questioned except by
          other envious knitters who come up to me and say: What??? We
          can carry our knitting needles on the plane?<br>
          <br>
          I think a knit in is a spectacular idea. I will have a project
          with me in Baku, and can bring extra needles and yarn for
          those who want to learn to knit :)<br>

              Nice idea. You'd have to find a local supply (or have
              someone bring hold<br>
              baggage to bring in a bunch) though, since AFAIK knitting
              needles are amongst<br>
              the terrible deadly weapons currently banned from being
              taken onto planes in<br>
              the war on tourism. ICANN meetings are short enough that
