Default Will my crochet hook make it through airport security?


I want to work on an afghan on the plane, but I'm afraid they'll confiscate my hook. I understand that I could get a plastic one, but those break too easily.

yes you will get it through. I get my knitting needles through but you'll wanna check your local airport security guidelines. I live in washington state and was told they are okay. I even emailed the security department.

Check with your airline and the airport you plan to fly from. They can give you their guidelines, but knitting needles are now allowed on American continental flights, but some European carriers (British Airways for one) still prohibit knitting needles. For some reason crochet hooks haven't had necessarily the same problems.

A plastic one won't make it either. anything long and pointedcould be used as a weapon. A good book would be safe.

I think airport security have gotten a little relaxed again, there's one way you can find out though, just do it...you can always buy new ones. Here's an article I found addressing your concern: http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter03/FEATwin03TK.html

My crochet hook made it through airport security in April and it was a small (sharp) one because I was working with string. They didn't even blink.

I have taken my crochet hook on the plane and it was not the plastic ones. I just carried it on in my crochet bag and I was able to go right threw. But do not carry scissors. Good luck and keep me posted. :-)
