I'm sorry, but do you not see the irony of your second last sentence (in quotes) after reading the previous paragraphs of your post?

I watched a TV special, they said having a computer in your lap would allow you to trigger a bomb in the hold. My thought was, wouldn't it be easier using a cell phone?

In reply to Oldsychc...(forgot to clicl quote reply....I used the Think Tank "StreetWalker" for my trip to Scotland, aside from my carry on camera bag I needed more space for second body and a couple lenses...the SW fit into a full size underbelly bag. Also used a TSA lock, the kind that indicates a red band if opened, it wasn't.

OnDSnap, how many times did you change planes?
None, non-stop...this was a couple months ago so there was no ban with carry on's as such, I had my main shooting gear with me in an Airport International bag as a carry on. But shipping your gear ahead is a definite plus if possible, I was just short of doing just that.

Yet another reaction post. The ban MAY be on laptop computers. MIGHT BE. Might be is not IS. The sky is not falling, the world in not flat, Y2K did not happen. Let's all settle down folks.

"TSA is TESTING new security procedures for carry-on baggage......introduced new screening protocols for carry-on bags at about a dozen U.S. airports, and they could POTENTIALLY expand to other airports nationwide.......they CONTEMPLATE expanding the electronics ban......they continue to CONTEMPLATE expanding the electronics ban....."
How about getting the facts straight? Nothing is finalized, yet elliott937 continues to post erroneous quotes.

If you plan a trip, you need to monitor this closely and be prepared. A number of years ago I was out of country on a business trip when the carry-on rules were changed in response to an attempted terrorist attack. I was able to purchase a very nice piece of luggage, but grossly overpriced, at an airport shop and separate out for luggage check what was suddenly illegal to carry into the cabin. Luckily, I had arrived at the airport early enough and found out about the rule change in time to buy the luggage before the shop ran out, which it did. I think a Pelican case and insurance may become my regular travel mode just so I'm not taken by surprise, again.

I use an LG G4 smartphone which takes superb images, I would readily use that instead of my normal camera.

Alternatively, you could get a Pelikan case sizes for your gear, pay the $50 or $100 and check it in as luggage. In that case, document the contents with a photograph and make sure you have a camera rider on your homeowners insurance or a separate policy.

That's exactly what I've done in anticipation of my October trip to the Middle East. I already had the insurance, but I bought the Pelican.

I've been watching this problem, and I think that it bodes ill for the International Travel Photography Industry.
Look like it will be better to check and see if you can rent one at destination and forget about this , they are getting ridiculous or they are very concern

No cameras? Can I bring my Pentax S3?
Good question, could I bring my Spotmatic with a 35mm or 55mm lens and some film? The 1.35v battery size is obsolete, so no toxic mercury. But then they might object to my Gossen Luna-Six Meter or Minolta Spot Meter.
