point protectors
These sat in my carry on luggage along with a few other bits in bobs in a little purse. They sat quietly for the full 45 minutes and did not cause any problems.

So please, next time you are shoving your needles in with clothing do the right thing and let the point protectors do their job.
Point protectors do a much better job when placed on the points of needles like so:
