Can you carryon your coins on a flight?

Anybody heard of rules not allowing carryons?

kranky

Only in England. Carry-ons are allowed in the US, but no liquids or gels of any type (no drinks, toothpaste, hair gel, cologne, etc.)

A vulture with two birds in its mouth tries to board a plane. The flight attendant says: I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion per passenger!


Thought we could use a bit of humor today!

Sounds like the "health and beauty aid" industry will get a boost from all this. Small price to pay for your life though.

I already heard that some people tossed out stuff at the security checkpoint, then re-bought the stuff when they got inside the terminal, and had to throw it away again at the gate when they re-inspected their carry-on bags.

Several years ago (long before 9/11) I packed a bag of about 250 wheat cents (loose and rolled) to seach during an evening of a multiday business trip. God only knows what that looked like on the Xray machine, because I had to empty the entire bag and show the checker the coins. I'd never think of bringing coins like that again, especially nowadays.

Same thing happened to me in Atlanta coming home. They noticed something unusual in my bag. I was asked to step over to a certain table, not to make any sudden moves, and specially do not reach into the bag. It ended up being a bunch of Marine and other commemoratives that I wanted to submit at the show but didn't. It was kinda scary. While one guard looked into my bag, another one (armed of course)was looking at me!

Earlier, I heard that electronic devices were not being allowed (cellphones, blackberries, laptops, etc.). Is this not true or no longer the case?

Also, I cannot imagine air travel without one being able to bring water on the airplane. Flying is very dehydrating, and dehydrated air travelers are at risk for deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism (blood clots in your legs and lungs). Unless, the airlines are liberal with the bottled water, we could have a serious problem.

Much less persons with medical conditions.

Naturally I'll be sending this to eveyone I know.

I always remember when not to long ago my son was flying to visit relatives by himself. At age 6 he was carrying very important items in his carryon luggage. We were stopped at the gates and sent to a separate room where his luggage was opened by an armed guard. Inside was a pile of plastic squirt guns in the shape of fish, frogs, snakes, etc. None looked like a gun and yet they were all put into a locked box with the large words GUNS on it and shipped separately.
