Same old same old. There was an FBI guy who wrote his supervisor to tell him that there were a bunch of Middle Eastern guys who were going to flight school to learn to fly big jets without learning how to take off or land. The supervisor stated that it was not worth investigating. Now we have 9-11 to remember and the TSA! Man, you gotta love it. IMHO, the supervisor should get a life sentence at best…..

The US wants Canada to tighten up on flights to the US. Maybe its because they missed that guy from Nairobi, the guy that blewup his underware. The CIA and the FBI knew and the guy’s father called and told the Airline folks he might do something like that. So now we all pay the price….

Hey Rodney, Be careful what you wish for! It is raining here right now and is supposed to rain all week, MON-FRI. I am flying home early tomorrow (TUES 19 JAN).

Everyone is of course advised to check carefully before flying, especially when leaving the US. The Canada situation is absurd.

I generally fly with only a few personal items in the vest, but it does offer some protection in case my roll aboard gets busted for weight… I could get lots of stuff in it if need be and see what they have to say.

The small jets can be tough. Sometimes if you are polite and get a nice flight attendant you can put your stuff in the crew locker. Or, if the flight is not full, under a seat in front of two empty seats…. Else you need to gate check it and hope for the best.

I just lay the vest on the belt. I am liking both bodies.

Thanks for posting this, Artie. I assume that before you pass through the scanner, the vest goes in a plastic bin for separate scan. Congrats on your new 7D and 1DM4s.
