Hi Bill:
US is still OK. However, as of yesterday, here are the new cabin
baggage rules for those travelling to the UK from the US, or those
going anywhere to anywhere, via the UK. Note the bit, after the
list, which says "Every other item must be carried in customer's hold
luggage"... ie: carried as checked baggage.
