Depends on security personnel at the airport you are flying out of. Some places (notably ATL) consider a NEWSPAPER to be an extra personal item and do not allow you to carry it through the security checkpoint.</font>
Go to the bathroom, remove your pants, and wrap it around your legs.

If you're a woman with a skirt, just wrap the newpaper around your legs and tape it. Claim it's a new fashion trend.

If you're a man with a skirt, . . . even better.
