This is a list that my company just sent out of items you can/can't currently bring on the planes now.
In light of what happended today I still think this is a little ridiculous. If a terrorist wants to badly enough, he is going to use anything he can to cause damage to a plane. I never understood the rule that you can take matches on a plane but not a lighter. :hammer: If you can't carry on a purse or laptop and you can't lock your suitcase and the baggage handlers know this, the dishonest ones will have a field day picking through purses. If we hadn't already booked our flights using sky miles in Oct, I would probably drive to WDW instead. How are you supposed to keep children and babies entertained on a plane if you can't bring anything on for them to play with.
