new baggage rules at airports

[ROOD DAVID S]

Yes, the first is what I had in mind -- see you in the lobby about 7 if
all goes smoothly between Denver at that lobby.

Everyone should also be aware that there are new baggage inspection rules
going into effect tomorrow (the first).  All checked baggage has to be
inspected either by xray or by hand, and most airports don't have the xray
machines yet.  Don't put anything into checked luggage that might get hurt
by an xray however (they mention film specifically -- I don't know about
diskettes or cds, etc.), and DO NOT LOCK YOUR SUITCASE unless you want to
have the locks cut off by the inspectors.  I'm waiting to see how much
stuff gets stolen in this process.  Grrrrr.
