Traveling to the US tomorrow... update on plastic bag?

I do completely understand why they have the rules. But I just think the exceptions are amazing.

according to the link you can bring lipstick or chapstick, you just can't bring liquid or gel stuff, so a solid tube of lipstick or chapstick would be fine, but one of those plastic squeeze tubes of blistex wouldn't be.  Your lips can be fine--bring the chapstick, just make sure it is not a gel one or liquid lip gloss.

Thanks that sounds like good news and while I see you can't take liquid lip stuff I don't see tube lipstick or chapstick listed as a yes or no? I will give it a try! 

On a different note....so if a suspicious character has knitting needles that's ok? Great!

I saw recently on Al Jazeera that that Al Qaeda has a very elite knitting circle.

LOL! I know what I said sounds silly but when I think if knitting needles on a plane if some psycho gets a hold of them they could cause a lot of harm.

I am just happy that I may be able to have lipstick or chap stick on board!! 

I thought only specific types of knitting needles are allowed?!!? Like only the plastic ones or something?
