Oh boy - I think it's one of the most stupid ideas of the (young) century.

I work when I'm on the plane. No carry-on means no brief-case, no computer,
no work materials. Will I be allowed to carry on a novel? Women carry on
purses?

This is STUPID STUPID STUPID.

People can't make risk assesments at all it seems.

Do you think someone couldn't sneak a weapon in via their shoe? Shall we all
board naked? (I pity the people who'd have to see ME).

Can we get a sense of perspective.......PLEASE?????

Adam
