The <a href="http://www.suntimes.com">Chicago Sun Times</a> reports in <a href="http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-air14.html">New bag checks to begin Friday</a> that "each of the 3.8 million pieces of checked luggage on U.S. domestic flights every day will have to be screened for explosives". Unfortunately, with only 2 days to go, there is no indication yet of what the actual implementation of this bag-check is going to be. One of the proposed methods involves using expensive bomb-screening machines that are in extremely short supply. Couple the new law requiring that each bag be checked with two bureaucracies like Congress and the FAA still unsure of the regulations to enforce the law, and traveling after the fast-approaching deadline sounds like a recipe for disaster. <span class="quote"><q>"We just don't have a feeling. I don't know if anyone has an idea" of how things will go on Friday, said William Shumann, spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration.</q></span>
