There _may_ be a new TSA regulation reducing the number of books allowed in your carry-on luggage from 4 to 2. Does that mean journals as well? What about datebooks? (for the record, I carried two novels, a journal and my planner on my flight to Australia, and two novels, a play, some magazines, my journal and my planner on the flight back -- horrors!) No one knows, but that we're even having this conversation is grim, yeah?

I'm both horrified and baffled at twisted logic that equates limiting books with increasing security. I also had no idea that there were any limits on books. The last time I flew to Origins gaming convention (July 2004) I only took carry-on luggage and carried 7 or 8 RPG books along to trade and flew back with even more books than I came with. I very much hope this rumor is false and fear it is true (a common statement we all make about the government these days, and a statement that indicates that the US is in very serious trouble indeed).
