Subj: [DR-L] Airport Security issues...new thread
Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2003 09:22:48 -0500

Hi all,
Just a question that is formulating in my mind as I'm following this airport security thread closely. Unless I am misunderstanding, I have heard of a couple list members mention that their under-plane (checked) luggage had been searched in addition to being searched at the x-ray security checks for cabin carry-ons, which since Jan 1st is possible. Does this mean that items we pack in checked luggage (ie. knives, screwdrivers, etc..) can be searched and possibly confiscated now? -- again, I am making reference specifically to checked/under cabin baggage...?

Happy reeds,
Shawn
