A Canadian friend of mine told me he was surprised that we are allowed to bring knitting needles on flights as they are very anal in Canada. I was pretty sure knitting needles were allowed in Canada too, so I went and checked. I was right. I also discovered something more interesting – you’re not allowed to bring meat thermometers in your carry on luggage. Go figure.

So to recap…

Canadian Air Transport Security says:

knitting needles – YES!

meat thermometers – NO!
