![]() Oh, and we don't have a DS, or anything like that. My kids are pretty low tech. Although my youngest recently got something called an iCarly in her McDonald's happy meal, and she was pretty excited about that! I love it when they are entertained by simple things! ![]() Good to know! Thanks! ![]() Quote:

I had the same question before the first time I flew with an ebook reader. I've flown with my PocketPro and my Cybook Gen3 and never been asked to remove either one from my bag.
The last couple of flights I've taken, the flight attendants made a point of saying "Anything with an off button needs to be OFF." To me, that means completely powering down my smartphone and PocketPro. I read the in-flight magazine or do tatting until the plane reaches altitude. Once I'm reading it, as Bob already said, the flight attendants tend to be fascinated with it (also with my tatting) and ask lots of questions, so be prepared with your Ebook Evangelization Spiel! ![]() The last time I flew, I had a round tube with quarters and pennies in it for souvenir pressed penny machines, and I forgot to take it out of my bag before putting it through the x-ray. They pulled me out of line to do a full search of my suitcase, but they just went through it looking for the roll of coins, which no doubt had a suspicious appearance on the x-ray, and never said a word about my PP. |

Tatting is a method of making lace. It is very portable. I use plastic Clover shuttles, so they don't even register on the x-ray. I also crochet lace, but they don't make plastic hooks in the size I use, so tatting is just easier to take when flying.
Tatting on Wikipedia This blog has some more modern patterns and photos of tatting. |

Tuesday was the first day I got stopped. And the TSA agent said it was it was because there was so much stuff they couldn't figure out what was in there (she later apologized for saying "stuff"). When she started pulling "stuff" out of my laptop bag I had to agree. Pocket PC, Viliv S5, Archos 5IT, Pocket Pro, and assorted cables and adapters. |

Tangles of wires and electronic devices.

I agree. My wife, working for TSA, told me how difficult it is to look in omn the display when your bag goes through. It is horrible. Is it a bomb or is it harmless jumbles of electronics. I think we all need to be aware of how DIFFICULT it is to make a split-second decision. Give the people on those lines a break! It is brutal having to decide and it is better to check than not to check!! Put yourself into trying to decide. I have learned to respect the difficulty and stop complaining. |

Is that even possible on an airplane anymore? Mind yew, my flying days are over, but I sure did log a LOT of time in the air back in the 90's! I flew round trip about every weekend.
Of course, flying was different back then. It actually WAS enjoyable because we didn't have all those goofy laws and restrictions we have now. The few times I do fly nowadays, I find I long for the olden days when it was not such a hassle! I also look out the window from above now and wonder if I am to be blown up at any second. Didn't have THAT problem back then, either. I am very grateful that my days flying were not like they are now. Back when I was flying, it was fun. Nowdays, it is more hassle and even frightening than anything else. |
