Confiscated Knitting Needles

It had to happen eventually… when I was going through security at the Helsinki airport today, they took away my Addi Turbo circular needles as being too dangerous to bring on the airplane.

The needles have made it through American, Canadian, Dutch, German and Norwegian security - who would have thought that the Fins would have taken them away? :)

Given that I traveling nearly continuously for the next 24 hours, I think that I will miss being able to knit to pass the time.

Update

After about an hour of waiting at my gate for my flight, a woman sits down near me and starts knitting using metal needles that were bigger than the ADDIs that security confiscated from me. Grrrr. Oh well - at least they didn't take hers away as well. :)
