Carry-on-bag1

(PCM) There was a recent report on National Public Radio that brought to light an idea that was being discussed by U.S. counter-terrorism officials that would include a ban on carry-on baggage.

A TSA spokesperson claims that at this time they are not anticipating any further changes to the carry-on bag policies that are already in place. The discussion about the possible ban on carry-on bags was allegedly sparked by the possibility of small computer bombs that were among alleged threats by Al-Qaeda against commercial flights.
