I first said "I really don't care" and they replied we don't care either but you have make that choice and I selected patdown by women and indeed it felt much less intrusive. Weird that.. I'd say because of this encounter it actually was a positive experience overall..
Also love going through a body scanner and having it go 
watch out that they don't get taken off you at another check!
...there are in fact lots of knitter tricks for hiding knitting needles, such as in the makeup bag/pencil case or (for 2's) inside an umbrella's ribs.So apparently the TSA has an explicit rule that permits knitting needles in hands-on baggage and knitting on airplanes. So I guess I know what I will do the next 10 hours.. :D Woohoo!

Or maybe knitters are so threatening, not even the TSA dares to mess with them.
