my prediction is gov't issued "travel uniforms" including shoes & bags that are approved for travel

you'll have to buy them & wear them when you travel on airplanes

1 carry on per person-- inspected of course (the carry on size will be controlled bc it gov't issued)

and to bring electronics on board (like a laptop) you'll need to have additional background screening done & have to pay $25 for the license to carry it on board with you-- to be renewed every 6 months to 1 year

books & ipods (or whatever is hip at the moment) will be available for rental once inside the gate area & you can return them when you get to your designated airport



in all seriousness-- if they limited carry ons to one bag & banned liquids, they could focus more money on the proper routing of the checked luggage leading to less lost luggage & less TSA people scanning your shit to get to your airplane

people are currently allowed to bring way too much shit on board as it is, imo

yeah, the most i have taken on board was a book bag, dress clothes, laptop, and 2 plastic bags with odds and ends.....that was a pain...

I now only have a bookbag, laptop, and a plastic bag with my other shoes in it. Oh yeah, i have a cellphone also.
