Above the skies?

Call me logical but why do flight attendants and the FBI think terrorists keep all their objects of destruction in the overhead? I'm sure they could fit under the seat.

Shhh...next thing you know, someone will propose lock-on-takeoff overhead bins.

Out of an abundance of caution, of course...

After 9/11, there actually were some people who were clammoring for the disallowal of ALL carry-on items. No bags, no laptops, no snacks or beverages bought airside, nothing.

Out of an abundance of dunceness, of course.

Well, hey, let's not take half-measures. No checked bags either - never know what might be lurking in a checked bag, and there have been security failures in baggage screening too....

Save me, TSA, save me!

On a lot of planes and under a lot of seats, some pressure cookers can indeed fit. Time to ban underseat leg room on planes too.

That's happened already. After the bust of the mythical "liquid bombers" in the UK, the US even banned lap-child infants on TATL flights headed to the US.

Some years prior to 9/11, India had banned most all carry-on items on some routes and that ban lasted longer than the carry-on ban implemented after the mythical liquid bomb story made the press.

Actually, anything that bans infants on planes is A-OK with me. They're dangerous, loud, dirty little teacup humans.
