Actually, I fly almost every year (especially since moving to Ansteorra),
and as long as you don't pack a propane anything, or the other explodables
that have always been banned from luggage, they really don't care.  The only
time I got stopped was when traffic delayed me and the ticket counter person
said to take my bags and gate-check them, DESPITE the fact that I pointed
out there was camping gear inside.

They stopped me for the mallet but not the tent stakes, and by that point I
ended up on the next flight to Pennsic.  *sigh*

More likely, they are going to ban all but essential carry-on luggage (such
as diaper bags for parents with children needing same, and a sack lunch on
the airlines that will no longer provide food), which I HOPE means they let
you check three bags instead of two.
