Traveling Light is Suspicious?
On top of the inconvenience caused to travelers entering the United States over the past few days, there is the potential to mess up my prefered traveling method.
Police know that the KLM ticket that Abdulmutallab travelled on was purchased on 16 December, with cash, in Nigeria. The departure airport was changed from Accra to Lagos shortly afterwards. When he took his window seat, number 19A, he had only one piece of hand luggage and none in the hold – unusual for someone who was allegedly planning a two-week stay in Detroit. – independent.co.uk
One bag for two weeks, sounds reasonable and doable to me. Hope it doesn’t become a guaranteed red flag.

Yup. I just flew out of Nairobi with only a carry on bag. Security made me stand in front of their camera as they took my picture. They didn’t do it to the couple I was with, who had checked bags.
