"With all the recent changes in airport security, it’s only going to get harder and harder to get your camera gear onboard a commercial plane. In fact, I predict that soon, it will be impossible. In fact, it is impossible to get the usual amount of gear on from Canada right now. A friend of mine was told he could not bring ANY carry on during his flight from Edmonton to Seattle. He was allowed to put his D3 around his neck. He had to check everything else."

The no carry on rule is utterly unacceptable! What about people who take medication and need to bring it with them? How do you travel with children? What am I supposed to do for 12+ hours on an international flight?

- Matthew DeVries
Matthew, every successful terrorist attack thus far has been carried out by people who were breathing. How much longer do you think it will be before they rule that out?
- Glen, Bespectacled Elder
I rarely travel by air anymore, but the increasingly idiotic rules that continue to be added will assure that I do not travel by air in the future.
- Jeff P. Henderson
So why is medication any different from a camera, a laptop or any other small carry on? What about a diaper bag with food, milk etc? will these be outlawed also?
- Jeff P. Henderson
I've said it before, all of this hype is being bankrolled by the tramp-steamer industry, so people will go back to traveling that way.
- Matthew DeVries
I wish the general public would get a clue and organize to boycott air travel until these ridiculous non-security rules are gotten rid of! Nothing will change until the airlines feel financial pain. When that happens, watch how fast the airline lobbyists will be on capital hill trying to loosen up the restrictions.
- Jeff P. Henderson
And we can thank Howard Hughes for this mess - without him air travel would have been nationalized in the 40s and all of this would have been rolled into a nice government subsidized package, with fuel being purchased pre-taxes and security rolled into the defense budgets.... And that's asshole's airline was one of the first to go tits-up because it couldn't deal with the fact air travel is a money losing venture. It costs too much to pull off for anyone to afford to use it while you turn a profit.
- Matthew DeVries
Psst, MDV? Richard Branson would like a word with you.
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
@cecily, bringing camera gear as a carry on is the only option if you want to see your gear when you get to your destination. There is little or no security for checked baggage and you have zero recourse with the airline if your gear is stolen from checked baggage. Professional photographers must travel with tens of thousands of dollars worth of gear and they rely for their livelihood. These new restrictions are unacceptable for working photographers.
- Jeff P. Henderson
Cecily, thanks for the link. The problem is that these restrictions literally change on a daily basis, are different from airline to airline and depend on your destination.
- Jeff P. Henderson
I've shipped my stuff by courier the last several times I've flown. Saved a couple dollars, and I get a tracking number.
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
Cecily, you are correct, as the article states you do have another option to ship by private carrier, but that is truly an inconvenience for people who travel a lot.
- Jeff P. Henderson
You cannot rent camera equipment. It's a system, a highly personalized group of equipment, and they all work very differently from each other.
- Matthew DeVries
Renting gear is very costly and is only available in big cities. Working professionals have very specific gear that is configured to their specifications. Renting gear on a regular basis is really not a viable option.
- Jeff P. Henderson
MVB, when you shipped your gear, did you have someone on the other end that could receive the gear? What do you do if you are traveling over seas and do not know anyone at your destination, or are traveling to say 6 locations in 6 days? Is it possible to expect your gear will always arrive on time in the location you are going to be in?
- Jeff P. Henderson
Have not gone overseas. If I am travelling for work I ship to the office there or to the hotel. If it's pleasure, then to the hotel. I generally plan it out to arrive the day after I arrive and take a small bag with me.
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
MVB - Virgin Atlantic is 37 planes. Delta is 450. Northwest is 320. USAir is 460. British Airways is 300. Branson is just running an regional airline, with farflung regions. It does speak to something I do believe in though - Vertically integrated conglomerates are just stupid, all large companies should be broken into a hundred tiny companies.
- Matthew DeVries
I'd be very leery about shipping $10K worth of camera gear to a hotel. Seems like a giant opportunity for a whole new industry segment to open up. The service would make it easy to get your stuff reliably to and from your destination. Some sort of check in at or near the airport and delivery to your destination. Everything would be insured. If something is lost or stolen, they would guarantee immediate replacement or reimbursement.
- Jeff P. Henderson
UPS, FedEx, et el. could easily modify their service offerings to make shipping for travelers more convenient.
- Jeff P. Henderson
I agree, Jeff. It's much easier if shipping to your office or to a relative.
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
Certainly I have insurance on my gear. But that doesn't do much good when you get to your destination and your gear is gone. You can't just go to the local Walmart and replace your pro gear. If you are on personal travel, it is an inconvenience. If you are on a pro job you have a lot more to lose than just your gear. You can be sued for breach of contract for instance if you don't deliver on a job.
- Jeff P. Henderson
Well, yes I'm unhappy/mad about the ever increasing rules. Yes they are very inconvenient. I want somebody to prove to me that any of these rules make us any safer. I don't believe that most of them do. I think there are plenty of other ways to provide safety besides limiting our ability to move about freely and conduct our personal and professional business without ever increasing limitations.
- Jeff P. Henderson
The problem with the continuous changes in air travel regulation is that almost all of the changes made since 2001 are knee jerk reactions to isolated incidents. Example, taking your shoes off at the entry gate. This obviously did not stop the most recent incident. He sewed explosives into his underwear. So what next, we all have to take our underwear off at the gate?
- Jeff P. Henderson
That's the precise point, none of the new measures, nor any of the measures currently in place would have stopped any of the recent incidents or incidents in the past. Meanwhile, the simple and easy to use measures aren't being fixed, ie. Checking the fucker's ID card and seeing if the CIA has flagged him as a "dude currently carrying a bomb and looking to get on a plane" for the last 2 months.
- Matthew DeVries
First of all, the restriction on carry-on from Canada to the US was imposed by Transport Canada, a branch of the Canadian government, as indicated on the link Cecily posted. Airlines traveling to and from Canada are required to follow Canadian regulations and have absolutely no say in this matter. Second, I presume that most of these measures are emergency stopgaps: decisions made...

- Tudor Bosman
... and I predict that most of these measures will be eased in the coming weeks. The TSA has already lifted the ban on live information (live TV, navigation data, in-flight phone and Internet access) and the requirement that people stay seated during the last 60 minutes of a flight.
- Tudor Bosman
Tudor, I definitely understand that each country has it's own rules and regulations. I was focusing mostly on the TSA regulations that I am most familiar with, but it applies to each different countries regulatory agency. Shoe removal was a hastily imposed restriction in reaction to an incident that occurred several years ago and we still have to remove our shoes to this day. I'm just...

I wish that technology could be used more instead of the brute force physical measures that are in place now. I personally don't have a problem with being scanned, sniffed x-rayed etc. If these types of technology based measures could be made close to fool proof, then we would again be able to bring whatever we wanted on to the plane without having to disrobe or be physically searched.
- Jeff P. Henderson
Seems like those RTW tickets are going to get harder to sell.
- Cristo
Shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't bring a carry-on ;-P
- Jeff P. Henderson
Right, because traveling to 15 different destinations around the world with checked luggage makes tons of sense.
- Cristo
Many great points expressed here, but I sadly doubt your Congresspersons are checking your Friendfeed comments. So I hope you are all passing your opinions along to those who can actually make a difference here. You know, like abolishing the TSA. (A guy can dream, no?)

We're on it. No TSA by this time next year!
- A. Citrano's Congressman
As someone in reality tried to get reimbursed for the insured professional photo equipment I'd say it's no fun at all, and your check comes more than a month after reported loss. And — yeah, there is a significant deductible. Even if something could be replaced in 24 hours (don't know how, and where exactly it's physically possible) that means you need to be at your job location 24...

Gotta love the TSA (or else!) "The two agents who visited him arrived around 7 p.m. Tuesday, were armed and threatened him with a criminal search warrant if he didn’t provide the name of his source. They also threatened to get him fired from his KLM job and indicated they could get him designated a security risk, which would make it difficult for him to travel and do his job. “They were indicating there would be significant ramifications if I didn’t cooperate,” said Frischling, who was home alone with his three children when the agents arrived. “It’s not hard to intimidate someone when they’re holding a 3-year-old [child] in their hands. My wife works at night. I go to jail, and my kids are here with nobody.”"

Grow-your-own to replace false teeth: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk...
Morton Fox, Stephen Mack, Spidra Webster and 2 other people liked this
"The procedure is fairly simple. Doctors take stem cells from the patient. These are unique in their ability to form any of the tissues that make up the body. By carefully nurturing the stem cells in a laboratory, scientists can nudge the cells down a path that will make them grow into a tooth. After a couple of weeks, the ball of cells, known as a bud, is ready to be implanted. Tests reveal what type of tooth - for example, a molar or an incisor - the bud will form. Using a local anaesthetic, the tooth bud is inserted through a small incision into the gum. Within months, the cells will have matured into a fully-formed tooth, fused to the jawbone. As the tooth grows, it releases chemicals that encourage nerves and blood vessels to link up with it. Tests have shown the technique to work in mice, where new teeth took weeks to grow. "There's no reason why it shouldn't work in humans, the principles are the same," said Prof Sharpe. "

They jack up the prices. And people actually pay, like, 50 bucks a flippin' bucket!! Christmas cakes are also out of control expensive. They need to be reserved MONTHS in advance and avg. $100ish.

@ha3rvey, I'm actually not sure - never partaken in the tradition =P. I had Korean food last night, cause it was the only thing still open in NYC. I think it may be my new tradition.

That's right! KFC has done some brilliant marketing in Japan.

"The social networking site, which connects old friends and allows users to make new ones online, is being blamed for an increasing number of marital breakdowns. Divorce lawyers claim the explosion in the popularity of websites such as Facebook and Bebo is tempting to people to cheat on their partners. Suspicious spouses have also used the websites to find evidence of flirting and even affairs which have led to divorce. One law firm, which specialises in divorce, claimed almost one in five petitions they processed cited Facebook."

Bebo? Really?
- Paul Buchheit
Bebo was the most popular social network in the UK.
- Gary Burd
Paul: it's a British newspaper; Bebo is popular in the UK. And I think FB is responsible for its share of new relationships, too, so maybe it evens out :)

I do have one. Right now it's hooked up to TiVo, although I've toyed with the idea of putting it on the HDMI matrix switch and letting it see any content.
- Cristo
Ooooh, what is the HDMI matrix switch? Has anyone used it to get access to your DVR from another tv in the house?? Can u access it from your phone?
- Amani
Amani,the HDMI matrix switch is an Atlona 8x8x2. I use it move video to four different TVs in the house. Any TV can display the same or different sources as other TVs. Examples of sources are blu ray player, TiVo, Apple TV, Xbox 360, and Wii. I don't currently have a way of streaming video to my phone, although I could do this via Slingbox. It's not really necessary while I'm in the...

- Cristo
The x2 in the 8x8x2 matrix is for local output. The switch supports output via 2xCat6 connections per A/V output. This allows shipping video around the house, and it is converted back to HDMI by a small convertor on the other end. The local HDMI output is most useful for audio processing, e.g. an A/V receiver or A/V controller/amplifier combo. The switch also manages IR routing throughout the house to the various source devices in the media closet.
- Cristo
That sounds intense. You have Cat-4 all over your house I am assuming?
- Amani
Cat 6. Usually 3 lines to every display location, although most only need 2. I have conduit, so it's relatively easy to pull new cable. The main reason for a 3rd Cat 6 is to update firmware for displays and projectors.
- Cristo
Right now I'm just using it to watch TiVo from the computer. If I'm in my office, I can't really see any of the TVs, so that works well when I'm coding or friendfeeding while watching football or something. I experimented with using SlingCatcher to send Slingbox output to another screen in the house, but the delay was way to slow to channel surf. Hence the HDMI matrix switch.
- Cristo
I've used it from a remote location from a laptop, but the quality is variable. It's okay if you really want to see something badly, but stored video on a laptop or phone will look much better. I'd use it while traveling if I really wanted to see a game or catch the news. Otherwise I'd copy the content onto a device before I left, use Netflix Instant, or use the iTunes store.
