Considering the number of us that might not want to check our gaming consoles (something I’ll be bringing on a plane this next Tuesday morning) you might want to be aware of this:
“The previously unannounced rule by the Transportation Security Administration went into effect Saturday and brings game consoles and DVD players under the same regulations as laptop computers, cassette-using video cameras, and certain breathing machines.”
Just one more thing to pull out of your bag and place in one of those annoying gray bins.

At LAX the bins are white and they carry ads in the bottom so your laptops, game controllers, etc., look spiffy against the colorful ads!
