Travel with your game system? It needs to be screened

Now that 20GB PlayStation 3s have dropped to $449, 60GB versions should be flying off the shelves at $499. Xbox 360’s just got the price-cutting treatment officially, so look for more and more full-size consoles to make their way into carry-on bags for air travel. Well…maybe not. But, if you do have a weird obsession with your NexGen console travel with your big, bad gaming system, it will now need to be screened separately as of August 4th. Much your laptop, you’ll now need to pull out your NexGen and place it in its own bucket, preferably one that doesn’t have something spilled in it from the last guy’s Ziploc, or one that you don’t have to get into a fist-fight over. To see the other tweaks in the TSA’s new policy, as well as neat facts like how many clubs and bats were confiscated in 2006, make the jump. Thank God we fly private…

are alot of people actually flying with their consoles? I travel alot but would never think of bringing it.
no story here, its basically a computer why should it be screened any differently?
Is this really a story Gregory? and getting it from G4 just makes it that much more of a waste.
How come anytime someone tries to make a non-phone topic blog here someone invariably comments what a waste of space it is?
If restrictions continue going down the slippery slope it’s on; pretty soon, you’ll have to be naked to board a plane.
it has nothing to do with it not being a non-phone story but who travels with their game console? and are you actually surprised that it has to be checked? its a small computer and all laptops get checked separately. Its just a bad story, and its from G4 so its no surprise.
Private? Way to show us up BG staffers.
