I think she tried to say she couldn't sit still without something to do. I think she used ADHD but had no proof.
Now there was a missionary that told Mexican airport security that she was an American and that the TSA allows all Americans to take needlework on a plane. They finally let her put it in her bag but told her if she took it out, it would be confiscated.
Note, Mexico does not allow knitting on planes for the reason you stated.
Now the cheap plastic long needles are not that sharp but with enough velocity they could injure or kill someone.
