Update

Hey, guess who was at the airport travelling in the middle of the nationwide terrorist alert?

yeah. Me!

I'll have more later, but for now I can tell you that as far as Phoenix, Sacramento and Austin airports are concerned, everything went fine. Was there 'chaos at the airports'? hardly. I was delayed by all of 20 minutes because I checked my bags rather than go through the new 'carry on' inspections. Big Whoopidee-doo.

Parents of little kids with all the strollers and all of the rest of the required 'kid care infrastructure' were the most concerned, but everyone I saw rolled with the punches pretty well.

My guess is that sales of bottled water at the airports will be sharply down next week.
Not a big deal.

Not a big deal.

Except if you own a tax free store. Everything you buy there is by definition carry-on.
And if passengers can only bring the bare necessities on board, your revenues will be reduced to zero.
