Caution traveling to the UK

If you’re planning on traveling to or through the UK, be sure to read about the new “no carry-on” rules brought brought about by a plot to detonate explosive devices. If you’re rich enough to afford a private airplane (like the google boys), get your own private plane now.

Potential theft and breakage of expensive camera equipment and computers is now a very serious issue. Got a $30K digital back?—big problem. Knowing the unlimited capacity for government incompetence, we’ll see if the rules actually get lifted anytime soon. I’d advise anyone with really expensive stuff to ship it insured instead via a reliable carrier.
