Lately there have been continual automated PA announcements in NYP saying that, beginning November 1, the rule of 2 carry-ons would be enforced.
Does anyone know the purpose of this rule? I think it was first published after 9/11, and I thought it was some kind of anti-terrorist rule, though, when I thought about it, I couldn't see how it would protect against terrorists. Then, I thought it was in force already, until I started hearing these announcements.
If it's an anti-terrorist rule, it's silly. And, one of the advantages of trains is you can take more carry-ons than planes will allow. So, why is Amtrak giving up one of its competitive advantages?
