PhotoAttorney Know Your Rights and Limitations When You Fly
PhotoAttorney: "Know Your Rights and Limitations When You Fly
The Transportation Security Administration’s (“TSA”) mission is to “protect [ ] the Nation’s transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce.” The TSA, not the airlines, determines what can pass through the secured area of an airport.
So it’s great that the TSA allows photographers an extra bag of “photographic equipment in addition to one (1) carry-on and one (1) personal item through the screening checkpoint. The additional bag must conform to your air carrier’s carry-on restrictions for size and weight.” The guideline can be found here: http://www.tsa.gov/public/display?content=090005198006b11c
The catch is that your airline, not the TSA, has the right to disallow the third bag. While you can get it through security, you may be forced to check it at the gate. Since many photographers need two bags for photography equipment plus a briefcase for their laptops, you may not want to have to choose which bag is thrown below when the third bag is disallowed.
E-mail messages to Delta, Northwest, Alaska, United and American Airlines asking whether they allow the extra photography bag either were not returned or the responses quoted/referred to baggage guidelines from their websites that allow only two pieces of carry-on luggage. Even if any of the replies had been positive, the rules may be applied differently at the gate.
The safest plan is to go with two carry-on bags, at least for now.
Take my advice; get professional help.

Google makes maps mightier
Tuesday April 12th, 2005
A while back I wrote about Google's new map site and its acquisition of satellite mapping service Keyhole. In typical blazing-fast Google fashion, the company has now married those two services in the latest update of Google Maps. The site now lets you not only view a satellite photo of whatever location you're mapping, but it also overlays the recommended route on the satellite image when you get directions. The satellite images aren't as detailed as you'll find on Keyhole, but they don't really need to be. It's really cool."
