Yep, same thing I heard on the local news radio station in Atlanta this morning (AM750). And the ban is only until the TSA comes up with a way to check carry-on liquids....who knows when that will be though.

The Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson airport is hammered now though. The line for the security gate is going out the door. It's been a while since I've been there but I think the space between the front doors and the security gates is around 50 yards.
 
Oh, you're also not allowed to take any "remote controls" with you on-board. So, if you have to fly, be sure to put your keys in your checked-in baggage because they won't allow you to carry-on your remote car door opener.

I wonder if they'd ban insulin... I never check mine in because I've experienced the lost luggage thing too many times.

Yeah, I'm flying tomorrow. I'm checking everything except a book.

EDIT: Man, good luck with the insulin.

The only liquids which are exempt from the ban are baby formula and medicine. Insulin is fine.

WTF? England just saved TONS of American's lives. Stop being a prick and bringing your political nonsense into OT.

I for one would like to extend my thanks to the Brits.

Are you certain about that? I just contacted United's customer service, and they said the only restrictions for carry-ons were liquids; nothing about any electronic devices. TSA's website seems to confirm that.

Yes, three cheers for the Brits who are on-top of things. A multi-month operation tracking these guys leads down to getting them at the wire. Good show old chaps

The reporter that AM750 had at Hartsfield-Jackson airport in Atlanta this morning was saying that any kind of remote control was not being allowed. Though, cell phones were being allowed.

Two men were charged Wednesday with money laundering in support of terrorism after authorities said they found airplane passenger lists and information on airport security checkpoints in their car.

Deputies stopped Osama Sabhi Abulhassan, 20, and Ali Houssaiky, 20, both of Dearborn, Mich., on a traffic violation Tuesday and found the flight documents along with $11,000 cash and 12 phones in their car, Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks said.

It wasn't clear what significance the airline information might have. Assistant County Prosecutor Susan Vessels declined to comment on whether the manifests were for upcoming flights or those that already flown. She also would not give the origin or destination of the flight or flights.

FBI spokesman Mike Brooks in Cincinnati said his office was notified about the arrests and had an agent investigating.

Abulhassan and Houssaiky admitted buying about 600 phones in recent months at stores in southeast Ohio, said sheriff's Maj. John Winstanley. They sold the phones to someone in Dearborn, a Detroit suburb, Winstanley said.

Vessels declined to say how the phones, cash or flight information involved terrorism.

Investigators going through the car after the pair were pulled over in Marietta also found a map that showed locations of Wal-Mart stores from Ohio through Kentucky, Tennessee and into North and South Carolina, Vessels said.

There were also 11 Egyptian "Students" who went missing after arriving in New York recently. They were supposed to be going to a college in Montana but never showed. Three have been captured so far.
