On Wednesday DD and I fly to Paris on Air France. Does anyone know if I'll be able to take either a sewing needle or knitting needles (bamboo most probably) on the plane?

check the TSA website. i'm flying to a differnet state and wondered the same thing. the TSA site says that needles are permitted and even blunt nosed scissors!...flying internationally not sure. a friend in france said she had to mail her needles home because they wouldn't let them on the plane.
thanks Bryony, never thought to check the AIRPORT online info (the airline website just hedges its bets on 'nothing that could be used as a weapon').
Unsurprisingly Birmingham also won't let knitting needles... doesn't mention sewing needles but I'm doubting it really. Won't even let 'pointed hair slides'!
>sigh< why are we more paranoid in Europe than the US?
Any suggestions for something else I can do? :)
