That's a good idea! I think I have one of those, somewhere... I'll have to dig around and see if I can find it. If we don't use it on the plane, we might be able to at least use it in the airport during our layover.

I think I'll skip this one... it's not worth the risk. Thanks for replying, though.

He got strip searched for his troubles. Moral don't surprise the TSA just let it be scanned seperately from your purse turn on if they ask and you be ok. Thats my 2 cents

Oh, your poor friend! I can't imagine having any trouble with TSA, especially just me flying with the kids. We've all got very light skin and hair, so we've got that in our favor.

Thank you for posting! That's great to know!

That's true... I'll probably just leave it in my purse during take off and landing. I don't want to mess with having to reset the date and time. I've done it several times since I've had it, but I always forget if it's mm/dd/yyyy, or dd/mm/yyyy. I usually have to do it a couple times before getting it right.

The only time I've ever flown out of the USA was once flying in to Mexico City. I'd love to go to London someday, though! I'd like to see all the cool places the Doctor visits in Doctor Who.

And I'm sure cameras are equally safe |
I hadn't really even thought about the cameras. Yeah, keyboard lock sounds good!
Ok, this is getting a bit long, I'll start another post...
