Hello Orchidland,

    I'm getting ready to go to the Tucson shows and am very concerned
    about the new luggage "suggestion" that check through luggage not be
    locked. It seems that we are being discouraged from carrying on bags
    and from checking thru luggage. Its a bit of a dilemma. 

    Fedexing and UPSing rough (and tools) back could get too expensive.
    I usually bring back a full suitcase of rough (and tools) and do not
    want to loose it. Luggage insurance usually doesn't kick in until
    after you make a claim on your home insurance. Given the recent
    developments with home insurance being canceled after a claim, the
    luggage insurance may not be useful. 

    I spoke to United and AA and they said that they have no
    responsibility for any check thru luggage that is opened because
    it's the Feds that open it after you've checked in. 

    What are you're thoughts on the luggage issues? Are you handling
    things differently this year? 

Thanks,
Karen Dave'
