I swear that's not what it said a couple days ago! I found this summary on Daily Knitter: http://www.dailyknitter.com/article2.html. That's what the TSA site said when I read it.
I am relieved myself. I'm currently knitting a shawl on a very long circular needle and am off to DragonCon in less than two weeks. I may transfer it off to a smaller circular before I leave, just to be safe.
You're not delusional, when I last flew (a monthish ago) it did indeed have the notice that needles were entirely at their discretion. I always take plastic circs anyway, if I can - less bothersome for the other passengers, no chance of dropping them, etc. I had metal dpns on a flight once, no problem checking in but I did drop one during landing. Awkward.
I've never had a problem, but I tend to use wood or bamboo needles almost exclusively.

Thanks for the new link, though. :D
