I suspect that the same body has already been through some jarring
moments being shipped to its final destination, whether by container
ship or by plane. Loading/unloading boxes, loading/unloading
containers, the trip itself, the distribution network which ships the
cameras to its retailer and the
For the overall number, I just realized, I was counting only the airports
designated by FAA as "Commercial service - primary" ( over 10 000
passenger boardings per year). You probably included "Commercial service -
nonprimary" (between 2.5K and 10K boardings per year).
On one hand, I didn't
I would think that Pentax DSLRs, with in-body shake reduction, are at least as
fragile as lenses. I'd certainly feel happier stowing an M or earlier lens in
my carryon than a modern body - and not just because of the value aspect.

I don't know about Delta, I haven't flown on Delta for ages.
That's why I didn't write "all" airlines.
My most recent personal experience was with Turkish Airlines and Czech
Airlines last summer (on international flights), and with Frontier
(domestic) last month.
All of them claimed th

Yep, the contradiction with the safety intents and regulations is evident.
I don't know how they are going to resolve that. Because the ion-batteries

When I first read about the ban it gave me pause as well. Not least as it makes
no sense in that it directly contradicts safety warnings about LiON batteries
in checked bags.
But then I read a second time. It applies not to specific airlines, but rather
to any flights by any airline that origin
That's a good thought regarding the lenses. It might be worth checking in
a while how the foreign counterparts of TSA are reading the ban.
(It's often hard to argue with those.)
As for the camera, the primary concern is not about damage but about
theft. A valuable item in the suitcase has a
Can't you carry your lenses on board and check in the camera with no
lenses? I would think that the lenses would be more fragile, esp
since you can wrap the camera in clothing and put it in your suitcase?
The lenses shouldn't be considered conventional "electronic device"
since they have no batte
Since the most recent on the devices in the carry-on on
certain airlines from some destination, I've been thinking that a few
options for flying are no longer available for me.
