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?

Not exactly.

The regulation seems to be on matchbooks, but the wording is imprecise enough that at least on screener thinks it relates to reading matter.

There is a bit more discussion in the comments of my LJ.
