"A" book? ;-)

As of this morning in the UK they're not allowing newspapers, or magazines, or books, or electronics, or writing utensils; I fear I would go mad. Llyne suggests they're creating a captive market for the awful $6 in-flight movies.

At least in the US (so far) the restriction only extends to toothpaste and beverages. "Only".

(I stopped checking luggage after a run-in with a TSA inspector two autumns ago. Terry Pratchett has an excellent piece he does about traveling for months on end out of a small carry-on. I wonder what he'll do now?)

I'd cheer for a resurgence in train travel, except that it will take so much capital to fix the passenger rail system at this point.
