One carry-on, one personal item.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is this kinda new? I mean, even over the last five years? I feel so convinced that the last time I didn't check my luggage I had two other things with me.

Airline standards: One carry-on plus personal luggage item, or two?
One carry-on, one personal item.
And that includes motherfuckin' snakes.

I think it's fairly new, since 2001.

I've never seen airlines limit "personal" items. I've often had a carry-on plus a computer/camera bag plus a purse/small backpack, even recently.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think it's fairly new, since 2001.
However, snakes born before 2001 get grandfathered in.

Over here laptops don't count at all, so you can have your carry on allowance and a laptop. And therefore, whatever crap you can fit in its case.

That's what I'm angling for--garment bag, laptop bag, small backpack. Well, they can just make me check it at the last minute. I'll give it a shot.

Maybe you had a coat too ? I recall creative packaging to get the number of items down to 2 pieces back in the days before I figured out that as much as I hate waiting for my luggage to appear, I hate schlepping it through the airports on down plane aisles more.

Right, laptops and their cases are personal items and count separately from carry-ons. I mean, they certainly aren't going to make you check a laptop or camera.
What you really need to check is the new weight allowances and the fees for excess baggage over the limit. These just changed (for 2006 I think), especially for intl travel, but sometimes the domestic limit is very low and it is expensive if you go over. It varies by airline.
