Reply #25: you can't check your camera

[pitohui]

it's aga. the terms and conditions, check your airline's website, if you check your camera...and it's stolen...they are not liable because you violated their terms

same for any electronic or jewelry item

i don't see how a reasonable person can fly to/from uk w.out spending a LOT more $$$ in risk than is reasonable

if these restrictions spread, they will kill a LOT of tourist and business travel, no business person can risk checking a laptop full of confidential data, and most tourists (me too!) would not be willing to give up the camera, why go if the hobby can't be pursued?
