Mrzzy - I haven't been in an airport since the attack. I have heard that with a phone call ahead one can carry their instrument on board for stowage as opposed to the wrecking ball of baggage handling.

I spoke with a friend who has flown several times and she told me that she has only been inspected once out of 3-4 flights.

I'm OK with it for now - but as several others have stated - I'm keeping an eye on this. Always a tough call on these things. In Viet Nam we inspected nearly everything that came in our area. At one point there was a rumor of a French Foreign Legionaire who had deserted and joined the VC that was posing as a Marine - Everyone got inspected! Prior to that it was more ethnicity that determined who got inspected.

It all depends on the circumstance I guess -
