Is that for here? Or overseas?
You know, with the lighter confiscation, I always thought they should have a bucket with the sign "Need a lighter? Leave a lighter?" where you'd be allowed to take a lighter once you were outside security. Or have them give out little "good for one free lighter at destination from security" slips. (Actually, at BWI, there was a section outside by the SW terminal where people'd go to smoke. The sill of the window was lined with lighters. Communal lighters! I've seen it in Houston, too.)
I now envision a whole little barter store for confiscated toiletries and lighters.
my husband has a friend in England right now with $30k of camera gear, which cannot be checked since camera lenses shouldn't be subject to extreme cold. GHA. they will have to mail it home to themselves.
Gawd, the thought of a translatlantic flight without the benefit of a laptop or iPod is just scary. Flying is a much nicer experience for me when I can watch DVDs/videos on a laptop or iPod.

I can't tell-- it came from American Express Travel, which runs our travel department. If anyone finds out, give a shout, cuz Bob Bob is flying domestic tomorrow with his laptop.
(However, I'm OK with checking my remote control. I guess I can be without it for a couple hours.)
Luddite!
::promises never to leave remote::
is the car remote control on people's keychains.
or in my case where the remote control IS my key.
If I had to travel on business right now, I would just tell my boss that i can't take a laptop. Not only do you have to check it, you can't lock your suitcase! no fucking way.
First off I should admit to not having read the source materials...
you can't lock your suitcase!
Not even the TSA-allowed locks? Which I haven't gotten around to purchasing.

You are a genius.
The TSA press release just says no liquid/gel products. I think airlines are urging passengers to check all their luggage, or as much as possible, just to speed things up.
But UK passengers are screwed.
Strega is me. I just checked the TSA website and it specifically says that electronics such as laptops and cell phones are still okay. [link]
Couldn't find anything at all on the American Express site.
The one thing that made me want to flip off the screen on the TSA site?
"Passengers are urged to pack their patience..."

I'd print that out and take it with me to the airport.
