They held one of my checked bags for a day and stole my sports icepack for my back. There is a huge difference in the way the US is doing checks, as opposed to Europe.

You know how long her books tend to be...a handwritten manuscript would have been HUGE and heavy.

They're just scarying people and trying to justify all this mess the world is in and make us think we are safe and protected by going through those ridiculous and time consuming airport checkups.

They are overworked and power-hungry and will just make up rules as they go along to hassle people. Marines, I agree. Unless you are loaded you are freaking screwed with no leg space and a terrible flying experience. I also bring a laptop, DVD, and books and toys for my son. What am I going to do now? I'll have to like get small weird rolled-up comics or something. I think you can bring a laptop on now, though. I would be really scared to pack mine as luggage.

Does anyone know? Sounds more like some screener recognized her and tried a very sneaky way of getting their hands on the unpublished, highly anticipated manuscript...

At least play movies on a big screen and have speakers instead of head sets and longer leg room, why is it just first class huh? Think about the kids people, its hassiling enough and now we cannt even take laptops or dvd players or Ipod on board, your making a parents lifemiserable in those hours!

I have to fly at least twice a year and it's a pain in the ass. The last time I did it was before the London scare, and it was still really stressful. I hear you.
