High security means low-level boredom
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Could travellers to the USA be struck down by boredom?
New security measures on flights to and within America mean that on many airlines, during the final hour of flight passengers must remain seated, will not be allowed to access carry-on baggage, or have personal belongings or other items ontheir laps. So no lastminute games on the DS, PSP or iPhone for transatlantic flyers, and jolly dull trips for anyonegoing state to state. The noughtsand- crosses revival starts here.
