From reading the restrictive lists, it appears that you can't even
carry on a book to read, or a notebook to write in.
This amounts to being sentenced to spend a trans-Atlantic flight
watching television or movies, or listening to the airlines' choice

required to own a television set, which it is illegal to turn off!

"... Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney said that state's
National Guard has been activated to increase security at Logan
International Airport outside Boston, the first such call-up since
the Sept. 11 attacks.

phones, laptop computers or iPods, as well as any liquids, Romney
told a news conference in Boston... "

"It happens not to be the area where weapons of mass destruction
were dispersed. We know where they are. They're in the area
around
Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat."
