I'm wondering if any SBers have been pondering this new set of rules announced by the TSA. For now, the rules affect flights from overseas inbound to the US. Initial indications were that it was only "trouble" areas like the Middle East that would be affected, but Heathrow is concerned enough to be warning their travelers.
I'm trying to imagine powering on everything in my carry on photo/reg bag: dive computer, lights, gopro, camera, strobes, phone, laptop, etc. Seems like it could take a pretty significant amount of time. There's also the issue of loose lithium batteries, which many lights use now. They're supposed to be carried on, but not stored in the device. So you'd have to install them, power it on, remove them, stow them, and so on.
It's probably too early for anyone to have been subject to these rules, but if so, please share.
