When I first heard of the new restrictions, I thought they applied to checked baggage too. That would have been a major PITA.

I don't ordinarily carry my amp onto the plane anyway, I just check it.

During the flight just my iPod and my Etys. I should be OK, right?

The flight attendant saw me doing that and appeared to be quite concerned for a moment. Then I guess good common sense told her that I wasn't gonna do anything crazy on a plane full of Chinese...

I always keep my bass boost in the heel of my shoe!

I flew last week from NYC to Dallas and back and had HeadRoom Overture DAC and HeadAmp AE-1 with me as a carry on... no problems at all

As I understand it iPods are restricted as well. Sorry.

OK, I found the answer on TSA's web site:

iPods should be OK.

Here's the TSA site. I betcha it's different a week from now. Better or worse, I don't know, but probably different somehow.

I see the future of air travel: only wearing paper hospital gowns at airports and fedex-overnighting your luggage to your destination.

Maybe if you just plug everything together and play some music they'll see.

Plus they'll be so blown away by the great sound they'll prolly refund your ticket price!

As I said to a friend of mine, "Just show up naked with no luggage and you should be fine.

My father said. "Travel in just your underwear, and everything will be fine."

Oh man, I spent lots of money on ETY ER-4's, a Xin SuperMacro IV and a 100GB Archos AV500 (

) specifically, pretty much exlusively, for the 100 hours of USA / UK air travel (incl. honeymoon) I have coming up later this year. Would have made different decisions if I knew I couldn't use it on board. Going to be pretty bummed if I can't, don't know how I will react if anythings confiscated.

I have travelled an awfull lot and really, truly hate flying with a passion. Not scared, it's just the whole experience. I'm tall, have had major leg / knee injuries, can't sleep with any noise / distractions, always get very sick afterwards (sinus, lung probs.) etc. This set up is what I needed to fool myself into flying again.

I'm going to get to airports early and ask if I can take the gear on board, if not I will pack and check it.

Any advice?

my son with multiple disabilities uses a canine assistant dog. Dog has a backpack on him with appropriate labels certifying him as an assistant dog.

We are CONSTANTLY checked at major vacaton destinations like the parks at Disney and they go thru my son's backpack on the back of his wheelchair yet simply ignore the dog's backpack

Maybe an 80 lb lab retriever doesn't fit the fed's profile? Maybe a 14 yr old in a wheelchair does???

Go figure
