Ugh, New TSA Rules (Good Luck Flying to the U.S.)

Travelers flying into the U.S., be prepared for a little extra.
Flying during the holiday season is never a pleasant experience. Airports are crowded and disorganized, which isn't helped by the fact that families are often traveling in hopes to make it in time for their gathering.
Over the weekend, there was an incident on Northwest Airlines flight 253 involving a man who had explosives in his underwear. (Read the full story here.)
This sparked the TSA to revise and bump up its security measures, which now includes that all passengers at boarding gate prior to boarding get a pat-down "concentrating on upper legs and torso." Security are also instructed to "physically inspect 100 percent of all passenger accessible property at the boarding gate prior to boarding, with focus on syringes being transported along with powders and/or liquids."
Right now, it seems that security upgrades and changes have been introduced so fast that what are actual policies are still a little fuzzy. Some reports say that using electronics is banned on flights, leaving in-flight entertainment back solely in the realm of the printed word.
In-cabin carryon baggage rules for flights into the U.S. are now limited to just one bag, as opposed to the one-bag plus personal item rule.
Air Canada also warns its passengers traveling into the U.S. that "during the final hour of flight customers must remain seated, will not be allowed to access carry-on baggage, or have personal belongings or other items on their laps."
This not only means no iPod, iPhone, DS, PSP, but also means no blankets or trips to the bathroom. We're sure that there's still a lot of variance, as sources on the internet are still updating with new stories.
In any case, despite the media coverage and fear mongering, flying remains one of the safest forms of travel.
