MessageI saw some information on the NFB Travel list related to a statement on adaptive equipment from the United States Government and the new restrictions on items announced after the British terrorism scare a couple of weeks ago. I don't have the posting anymore. But the jist was that basically electronics were still permitted and that people with disabilities might have to demonstrate certain types of equipment to security personnel. ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Ring To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, August 21, 2006 2:11 PM Subject: [bookport] Re: travel Hi, I've flown many times with both of those devices.

As well, no one has ever told me to shut down the BP while in flight. HTH - russ. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tiffany H. Jessen To: PAC Mate User List ; bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, 21 August, 2006 16 24 Subject: [bookport] travel 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
