At the risk of not being unutterably silly: I've flown about once a month since August, involving airports in Dallas, Houston (both of them), Memphis and Nashville, each multiple times, and never had mine (sometimes in my carry-on, sometimes in the pocket of my vest which goes through the scanner) looked twice at by security. I'd expect you to have no issues.

Can I please have a custom user title, "unutterably silly"?
I fly 5-6 times a month. It is the primary reason why I've made plans to acquire an e-book reader. That's why keyboards and wifi don't appeal to me. I need a simple, attainable reader. Most frequent airports are the hubs, mainly. Memphis, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, LAX, Newark. Schipol - and then I get on a train. |

When I've flown with paperback books, I've always had the one I was reading and one unread book so I always had enough to read for the duration of the flight. I did have more books in my checked luggage as well.

Sure you can! Or anything else that takes your fancy for that matter: you can change it yourself on the User Control Panel (under "Edit Profile" over on the left).

Oh. Well, then, nevermind. Not nearly so much fun as a dispensation from the powers.

The "powers" have dispensed that you can change it yourself, is that a good enough rationalization?

Nope. Isn't it generally true that you don't want what you can easily have?

Oh, Taylor, you're such a tease. Put me on the alert list so I can buy your novel when you complete it (in Sony format, of course).

Speaking of checked luggage. When we came home from Florida recently, our two bags were the first two bags to come down the conveyor belt.

Great MaggieScratch. Be sure and let us know how your trip goes with your Cybook.
And BruceW, I hope you suggested to the stewardess that she join us here on this great forum. |

Heh, on the return leg of my last trip to Houston, my bag was waiting beside the conveyor before they started unloading the plane I was on. They apparently put it on an earlier flight. They tried to put me on an earlier flight, but I didn't want to pay the $45 bucks for the privilege.

European pants taught me never to check luggage.
