“...a woman who was knitting tried to recline her seat...”

Knitting needles are allowed onboard? Aren’t they considered WMD?

Exactly...

I’ve had my nail clippers get confiscated by the TSA goons, how the hell do knitting needles get a pass?

Only if she's trying to knit an Afghan.

Ha! Some months after 9/11, I was boarding my first flight after that fateful day, and was shocked to see that large knitting needles were allowed on board by a woman wearing a headscarf. She was accompanied by a man wearing a turban. I kid you not. These needles were probably 10-12” long and came to a point, suitable for use as a weapon. The TSA is such a sham.
