+There’s good news, for me, at least: because, on returning to the U.S., one goes through customs on the Canadian side of the border, and because one can’t check one’s suitcase until after customs, one goes through the duty-free store dragging one’s huge rolly bag. This used to be a pain, but now, in the fluid-free era, one has the opportunity to shove the two bottles of booze one purchased into said rolly bag prior to checking it in.

+Of course, this doesn’t work when leaving the U.S., or when returning from anyplace other than Canada. So I’m wondering what changes in the structures of airports, or in check-in procedures, will be required by the new anti-liquid regime.
