Would it still count as 3?
IF so they are _________! (fill in blank with your own expletive)
There have been times when I have worn it under my clothing as I boarded the plane--usually when dressed differently then yesterday. I saw so many people at my layover point--O'Hare walking around wearing their neck pouches and having a purse and a bag. I asked one woman who was sitting beside me if she had been questioned about having 3 items while we were waiting at O'Hare and she said she wouldn't have done it. Probably more of a road warrior than I am.

The gate agent said if she didn't make me put it in the laptop bag, she could be fined by the FAA.
