another cut in our liberties?
 

carry-on luggage has been banned on british flights AS WELL as flights from the united states. why do i have a bad feeling that this is going to stay in effect? i don't like the way things are going...

Ugh ? maybe the carry on luggage, but the flight from the US are gonna be back soon lol

lol, i guess i worded that wrong...basically carry on luggage is banned in the u.k. and u.s. for now...

URL for it being banned in the US plz?

I saw the UK thing

also, airlines are private companies.. they can choose to require you to fly wearing elephant costumes if they choose to do so. this has nothing to do with your liberties. :2 cents:

i heard the guy on foxnews say it...

Soon: "Pets are no longer allowed aboard planes, two suspicious arabians with a pet poodle were seen attempting to check their pet in as cargo. The poodle was obviously surgically implanted with enough explosives to kill four billion people. Stay tuned for more Bullshit only on the Fox News channel."

i think the government controls the airline industry security-wise...

and I am looking at the newswire, and this is UK-only.

i wouldn't admit to getting your facts from foxnews. :winkwink:

Actually I'm fairly sure it isn't the private compagnies giving the orders there.

if there really was a risk to the public, would they really want to cause mass hysteria? wouldn't they be more likely to keep it as quiet as possible? i never believe the mainstream news right away, there's a lot to think about...

I'm not a constitutional lawyer, but last I heard being able to carry luggage onto a plane was not covered in the Bill of Rights.

they just said it again, carry-on luggage has been banned from flights eminating from the u.k. and the u.s...

why are you watching fox news? :helpme

they shouldve banned it a long time ago.

lol so you're gonna go on a long flight and the only entertainment you can bring with you is a piece of paper?

What you heard them actually say was...flights TO the UK from US...not "intra" US flights...
