Thank you.

  1. I don't disagree.
  2. The linked notice that eventually appears atop forums whose moderators have directed users to continue discussions at the "Politics and religion are of-limits, unless you opt in" forum takes its sweet time to appear. For that reason, and because that forum is difficult to find, I respectfully suggest that all mods provide the forum's actual title and link when directing users to: MobileRead Forums > Miscellaneous > Announcements > MobileRead Forums > Miscellaneous > Announcements >
    Politics and religion are off-limits, unless you opt in

Probably because you're not a member of it. It's an opt-in forum. To join it, go to User CP, select "Group Memberships", and join the "Hardened Debaters" group. You'll then see the P&R forum next to the Lounge in the forum list.

(And that's why there's no point in linking to it. If you're a member of it, you'll know where it is. If you're not a member, a link won't work.)

Thanks for your prompt reply.

While you were in the process of replying to me, I was editing my post [didn't expect you'd reply so fast ]. Meanwhile, the following notice appeared at the top of this "Air travel restrictions thread":
Quote:
Notice Discussions on politics or religion are inappropriate for this section, unless related to e-books in general. If you are interested in these topics, please review this thread.
Although I have not (yet) opted in to the "Politics and religion are off-limits, unless you opt in" forum, I am able to access (i.e., find and read) it using the thread included in the notice. It is this link - which does work even for those who haven't opted in to that difficult-to-find thread - that I'm suggesting mods provide.

Thank you, Hildea.

However...

Why do I get the following message when I follow the link Hildea posted?

Froide, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
  1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
  2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Thanks for your reply.

As I posted above, it's unnecessary to join the group in order to merely find or read posts at the forum HarryT directed further conversation to, which anyone can access via this link: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=103942.

I'm afraid that's not right - you do have to join the P&R forum to read posts in it. The thread you link to above is not the P&R forum, but merely an announcement about its creation.

New regulations, but no larger laptop ban:

"US tightens aviation security to avoid broader laptop ban"

The laptop ban itself may be lifted at the various airports if they tighten the "large device" security. So there's hope for some travelers.

The latest from TSA on traveling with electronics

Quote:
The new screening procedures, set to go in effect over the next few months, are already in place at 10 U.S. airports, including Boston’s Logan International Airport and Los Angeles International Airport. Under the new rules, travelers will be asked to remove electronic devices larger than a cellphone from their bags and place them in separate bins for screening. TSA officials said the goal is to give officers clearer X-ray images.

Hmm, what's new about that? We already had to do that when we flew to the US in february. Even phones had to be placed in a bin...

Yep - been this way for several years at British airports. Electronics out of the bag and in a separate tray.
