Forget Lipstick: Where's My Bag?

Passengers forced to check everything they hoped to bring on board when traveling from London's Heathrow airport in the past week were relatively uncomplaining about the added irritation. Don't expect that to last forever, especially if electronics are once again banned from carry-on: British Airways just revealed that 20,000 bags "have gone missing" in the past few days.

It's one thing to have to give-up bottles of water and chapstick; it's entirely another when BA  loses a bag with your laptop in it, as electronics are not covered by some travel insurance. At this rate, we'd gladly let the TSA look at our privates--anything to be able to bring our laptop and iPod on board.
