The news media are reporting that the impinging on the Northwest Airlines mounting from Amsterdam to Detroit was certainly an attempted terrorist attack. This is causing extra security measures being implemented on all flights destined to the United States, which include body searches of all US bound travelers.
As I mostly fly Virgin Atlantic, I visited its website and it at present (as of December 26) advises its passengers of additional security measures, which decision cause traveling photographers considerable difficulties, especially regarding their camera bags.
The novel regulations include restrictive present baggage allowances for every one of passengers flying into all US airports, and have now been reduced to only one item of hand baggage.
According to Virgin, This item should not exceed 23 x 36 x 56cm, (approx 9 x 14 x 22 inches) and 13lb/6kg in load, and should only contain the items needed during the flight.
Knowing the herd mentality of airlines, it won’t be long before this restriction may be applied to all flights, in quiet to either economize on firing or to generate fees on additional (or heavy) check-in luggage.
And here’s the worst part of the regulations: “…should only contain items needed during the flight”. This is not good news during us, folks.
Is the way prompt to dump the whole of our expensive gear in a Pelican hard plight(s), mark it in (and pay for it), and spend the flight praying that the case(s) and contents make it back to the US from wherever we are flying from???
And the coup de favor? From CNN’s website: “There were in no degree reported delays from Heathrow Saturday, but passengers boarding a U.S.-bound Virgin Atlantic aircraft were told there would be no in-flight electronic entertainment in the wake of the incident.”
