I know that we cannot lock a case in the US but is it still possible to lock your cases when returning from Europe? I have waited at O'Hare to see my cases go through the xray machine and have seen them opened. In which case I definitely wait until they are finished before going through security myself. I have also opened my cases at the other end on trips within the US to find the notice from the TSA to say they had been searched. I have also seen things on the carousel that are wrapped in plastic but I assumed they had done that to boxes and cases that they were unable to secure after forcing them open to be searched. I am off to France via Heathrow/Gatwick next Friday so it is good to be up to date with all the rules and regulations. I thought of Tamara when she was off to see her son as it was around the time they banned carry-on of lighters. Could see her gasping for a fag at the end of that journey if she had to wait to buy some matches. :-) BTW, they have to be cardboard matches that you are allowed to carry on. Now for lace content: I am manning a craft table at St. Johns Episcople church, N. Wille St., in Mt. Prospect tomorrow selling lace pictures along with all sorts of stuff from my lace guild. If it is quiet on the sale front I will be demonstrating lace making, all the better to push my pictures to the non-lacemakers that will the there. I am told I will be given the best position by the windows. I think I will track my time lacemaking so I can use the demo hours for IOLI. Janice
