Not.
Business traveler here. . . no checked bag, small carry-on (that is why gawd made hotel laundry). Land and get the heck out of the airport instead of standing around in some cattle pen waiting for luggage that MAY show up.
No checked bags, no lost luggage, no surly line of angry passengers and even more surly and angry lost luggage personnel.
It is the tourist passenger that abuses carry on as they trundle aboard over-packed, over-loaded and looking every bit the bag-lady they are.
I HAD a trip to CA in a few weeks.
Cancelled due to the silliness of these “new” rules, and this nonsense about screening practices to be unpredictable, right, like I believe that. . .they just can’t get it right and they will now be out of control profiling old ladies, the Amish but never a muslime.

Changing your plans to circumvent government stupidity is useless. It is like saying “I won’t by such-and-such because I don’t want to pay sales tax” or “I won’t leave an estate because of the death tax.” In canceling your trip,. you are essentially letting the government dictate your lifestyle and life decisions.
I fly every week and have been dealing with ever-changing governmental insanity since 9/11. You learn to cope or you can just stay at home.
Hulka, you’ve got that right about screening people. The rag heads and m.e. individuals will get a pass. I’ve been very wanded when I’ve flown, I have a piece of steel in my hip, plus I have to take of my flip flops flats. Now that is real screening.
