I just hope that they don't ban Leica camera case straps :( since they pose a strangling hazard to pilots and flight attendants... About risk assessment, I've done it before for 2 years os Yale... I just want to say that it's definitely a lot of intellectual marlarkey in the long run... after all, no risk assessment is going to erase the moral effects of the tragedy. alfie on 9/18/01 3:05 PM, Rodgers, David at david.rodgers@xo.com thoughtfully wrote: > I never liked checking bags, but I think this is a great idea.

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?????
