ELAL's site states strict rules regarding carry-ons from mumbai. (see the following). mr. Haniboo would like to know if you have flown that routing recently, were you able to carry on noise-cancelling earphones, disk-on-key, and PDA. ( because it says laptops are allowed, but ipods not, are they concerned soley with music-producing electronics...or what?)
