It obviously depends on your definition of carry-on baggage. The regulations are a joke & very often ignored. I've seen people struggling with almost everything you can think of, including the proverbial kitchen sink. Some of these objects are obviously not required on the flight . They cannot possibly be stowed safely in the overhead lockers which is therefore a potential risk to other passengers & crew.

It amazes me what the travelling public thinks of as essentials that they cannot possibly live without for a few hours. I'm told it's even worse on internal flights in the US. Even without the security risk I think it's about time they had a re-think on what is allowed in the passenger cabin of an aircraft.

Ah, ok. You seem like the kind of person who would balk at security measures that seemed excessively extreme, such as forbidding all carry-on luggage. In the wake of the recent threat, banning carry-on luggage (temporarily) is 100% called for, but I feel banning it permanently is a ridiculous and unnecessary inconvenience. You made it sound as though you support a permanent ban-do you?

Basically yes, although not specifically for security reasons. As I said, I think it's time they looked at the whole issue again. Unfortunately, since the events of 9/11 air travel can never be the same again. The sooner the airlines & the travelling public accept that the better. IMHO

Better yet, we should stop flying airplanes altogether because of 9/11. Or maybe every person should be bar coded. For security. Roll Eyes

I'm all for banning airliners. They make travel far to easy. And some people really shouldn't be allowed abroad.
