> EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY:
> Thanks to the efforts of ASMP and the cooperation and understanding of
> the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), working
> photographers and other members of the traveling public may now take
> on board an additional piece of carry-on baggage containing
> photographic equipment. This means that you are allowed to carry on
> two bags - when at least one is photographic equipment - along with a
> personal item. This accommodation will make it easier to travel for
> working photographers with sensitive and valuable equipment. Document
> Checkers are being informed at this time of the change in
> Transportation Security Administration regulations. The TSA has said
> to go ahead at this time and take advantage of the new policy.
>
> Be advised that some Document Checkers may not be aware of the change
> in policy and this will require your speaking to the airline's
> customer service personnel. Also, the additional bag must conform to
> the carry-on regulations for size and weight. There will still be
> occasions when there simply is no space available on board for
> additional carry-on and this will require checking a bag.
