Me too, very slow crocheting

I was going to mention that I have seen any metal object over 4 inches total or any metal object with a sharp edge or point. So fancy pens, tweezers, nail clippers, safety pins and even metal canes have all been banned depending on the TSA crew you are dealing with. If you need metal hooks or needles, I would buy a very cheap version for the carry on, and put your nice ones in the baggage. That way, if they get taken, it won’t matter and your nice ones will be safe.
Instead of trying to carry on what should be OK, I would personally assume I was going to encounter the most rediculous agents and take extreme precautions to comply (no metal, no blade)

When I go to Egypt I use small scissors like that so I think it will be fine.
