Default Sony PSP's on a plane...

can you use them, or will they think its some kind of bomb?

I don't want it getting permanently snaffled off me at security control

Airports have relaxed hand baggage restrictions on check ins. I think make up and liquids are still not allowed but Ipods, PSPs and the like a ok.

You will have to turn them for for taek off and landings though.

PS I always take my PSP when travelling except during the restriction in August.

Regards

3600mAh I think...compared to the PSP's 1800mAh. So all being fully charged should give 3 times the normal time. I doubt it though, it was about 4 quid from hong kong

I leave all my electrical goodies on during takeoff/landing and never crashed and burned yet You can even send text messages until around 4000ft, then you lose signal. its all a load of bollox imo

i've heard some airlines are going to stop the phones off rule, starting with Ryan Air, Hospitals are considering it also.
