Your Flight Experience Will Now… Suck.

New TSA regs for all international flights entering the USA, via Air Canada:

Only one carry-on bag per person. PERIOD. Computer? Clothing? Books? All in one small bag, son.

No leaving your seat in the last hour of your flight. Passengers cannot get up to stretch their legs, go to the restroom or to assist children/elderly/the disabled in the last hour of flying.

Passengers may not carry anything in their hands or in their laps in the last hour of flights. Passengers reading books, listening to an ipod, using a laptop or doing any other activity in the last hour of flight will face criminal action if they don’t cease and desist. That’s not a joke.

What do you think?

  10. tornadoquest answered: As usual, a reactionary solution instead of being proactive & not angering already frustrated travelers.
  11. yousaytheydontcare answered: I couldn’t have made up something more ridiculous and arbitrary than this.
  12. quickwitter answered: As usual a useless knee-jerk regulation that does not address or solve the epic fail of this past week.
  13. deathbylollipops answered: Some of the metal detectors, (especially the older ones) don’t pick up precious metals like silver so weapons can still get thru too.
  14. wanderer-of-dark-dreams answered: Ridiculous, as RH said these rule do nothing to address the actual problem. They are only for the illusion of unattainable “safety”, .

  21. alohanico answered: Honestly, this won’t affect me that much, but I’m still kind of annoyed. I wonder if this applies to freq. flyers that get a bonus carryon?
