Many airlines are now enforcing the old rule that a carryon may not weigh more than seven kilos. But they will check it if it does. You may want to be ready to take out anything that you do not want checked. Larry in Berkeley, California

Yes, and that's a really good idea. I say shoot all the tourist as soon as they show themselves. Carrying two bags should be prima fascia evidence of tourism and give everyone the right to shoot them immediately. You surely don't want to just wound them, so shooting to kill is the way to go.
