Hi Russ and list:
In recent flights I've taken here inside New Zealand, IPods have been
specifically mentioned among the list of electronic devices that can be used
during flights, but need to be switched off during take-off and landing
procedures. I believe the book port is roughly equal to an IPod, so that is how
I treat it.
My only advice to Tiffany would be take no more than one set of extra batteries
in your carry-on luggage. I have been questioned by security people because I
carried a handy case that holds 8 AA cells. That was even before the latest
plot was uncovered in Britain. So I have modified my travel practices a bit and
carry only one extra set of batteries. If I am careful to use high quality
batteries, that should hold me through even the 12 hour hop between Auckland
and Los Angeles.
Cheers,
Dave

I have taken my BP all over the world and no security checker has ever
questioned me while going through security.
As well, no one has ever told me to shut down the BP while in flight.

Hi,
In less than two weeks I am flying between Newark and London and back on
British Airways. I have gone all around their website and it says electronic
devices including laptops, DVD players, and other music players are allowed to
be carried on board, so I am assuming it is safe/permitted to bring my Book
Port and Pac Mate with me, but I am looking for written information that proves
so. I just don't want the people at security to see them as foreign and not
permit them. To cut down on weight, size, and cost I was going to leave my
braille display home, but would that make it seem even more foreign? If they
insist that they are checked in under the belly of the plane I would rather not
bring them, but it is a fairly long trip, and I would really like to bring them
both.
Where can I find official information to help support no troubles?
Thanks.
Tiff
