Re: Air travel carry on restrictions - what's next?

To restrict computers in this country would really hurt business. They will
have to work something out. Perhaps carryons will be collected as you board
and stored in a safe place in the cabin compartment, and you may pick them
up when you leave. The reaction today is just extreme because of the
announcements. Things quieted down eventually after 9/11, and they will
quiet down now, though there will undoubtedly be new restrictions. Someone
commented that eventually we'd all have to fly naked! The flight
restrictions hurt a lot of people--business, the airlines, the travel
business, resorts. The economy cannot take that and ways will have to be
worked out that will not be excessively restrictive but still allow
reasonable safety. At this point in my life I do not have to fly--although
I certainly would prefer to once or twice a year, but if it is too much of a
hassle I won't. I'm sure there are a lot of others like me.

Thankfully AA says nothing about restricting computers today, (to Belize)
but I also think that is coming. Lots of people will be up a creek, so to
speak, if that happens.

I'll be at the airport about 3-1/2 hours early today, so I hope that's
adequate. I'm so glad I upgraded to first class with miles so that I can
comfortable sit in AAs "Ambassador Room" at the airports.

See ya'll when I get back, unless I have time to read and post through
Google, which I hate.

Thanks for the good wishes for safe travel (in another thread).

I envision a lot more people driving due to more carry-on
restrictions. I don't necessarily want to be able to use my computer
on an airplane, but it's an expensive piece of equipment and I don't
want to leave it to the luggage handlers, either.

And since most car keys contain an electronic device nowadays, what
are we supposed to do with them once we get to the airport? Put them
in our luggage and check them through?
