Bad people can get into nice places. We seem to have it held here, thank
goodness. We are on such high alert here that anyone who is carrying a
liquid has to drink some of it in front of security guards in case it's a
liquid explosive.
A lot of mothers of small babies have had to gulp down their formula milk.

My coworkers daughter came back from her honeymoon in Paris today. It
took them 2 hours to get through 9 security points at the Paris airport
alone! There were guards with machine guns everywhere, even at the
EIffel tower.

It's a sad state of affairs that the majority of good people have to be
inconvenienced because of these extremist assholes. I like to book my
flights for early in the morning, especially if there is going to be a
connecting flight and/or layover. My flight out on September 6th will
require me to leave for the airport at 5AM due to the "3 hour rule"
instituted at the Memphis airport. I told John, by the time my flight
arrives in Minneapolis (after a layover in Atlanta) I'll have been either on
a plane or in airports close to 9 hours. He can expect me to be tired when
he picks me up which is definitely not what I had in mind

good luck with your journey!

I can see the airports and flight companies making money out of not being
able to take foodstuffs on board!

The thing that worries me, is that if you have to put valuables in the hold
and they are 'lost', there is little or no compensation.
Laptops are a prime example, business people and students for that matter
often need to take them, but it could have disasterous consequences to have
them damaged or lost.

The airlines need to sort this out fast. We are supposed to be moving abroad
soon, and there was stuff we had planned to take as hand baggage because we
didn't want to let it out of our sight and did not want to trust it to
movers. Now we may have to drive thousands of miles instead.

I worry for my mother - only a *week* from today she will be flying from
Indiana to Virginia to visit with her "baby" sister, she will be there for a
few days, then they are *both* flying to *Germany* (where they are
originally from) to visit friends and distant relatives. Then back to
Virginia for a few days, to unwind from the trip, then Mom comes back home.

No kidding. For the last few years I have packed in such a way that I
can bring everything with me onto the plane, because I hate having to
deal with the baggage handling systems. This way I know where my
stuff is, I know I will still have it when I get to my destination,
and I don't have to worry about it being damaged or stolen en route.

I guess that won't fly anymore, at least for a while. And I can't see
this working. These baggage systems are crappy enough without adding
to the load. And airlines already make the call to leave baggage
behind when there's no room; that will happen even more frequently
with so much going into it.

I know a lot of people ship things to themselves overnight UPS or FedEx for
example rather than deal with the airlines. Would this work for an overseas
move?

When I had to go to out of town conferences back when I was still working,
there would be a line at the FedEx office in the hotel after it was over.
Everyone shipping their books and briefcases back to their offices. I'd
sooner FedEx a laptop than check it with an airline.

You know what? There will be some inconvenience, but I hope your Mom
and aunt have an awesome time.
