I LOVED that iPod story. :)

The Wifi may interfere with their controls so you might get some restrictions on that. Other than that, I'm sure it's all good.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

Any electronic device has the potential to interfere with their controls, which is why they make you turn them off during take off and landing.

That and they don't want all kinds of shit flying around if the wheels break off or something.

I've heard lots of stories about people accidentally bringing on restricted items, including a 4-foot sword. Just don't act nervous, I guess :P

Hahaha.  Whoops!

This is on a tangent, but when my friend from high school (who was a foreign exchange student from China) was going home, he had to ship the Katana his hosts bought him for his birthday.  He put the wrong phone number or something on the package (which included the Katana along with a few other belongings he didn't have room to pack) and it ended up getting shipped back to the return address.  By the time he got it, the bill ended up being $500 or something.

My Carry-On would contain my nicer clothes (suits, blazer, slacks, shirts) my laptop case would contain laptop, iPod cord, book, iPod, headphones, pencil

Yeah that should be fine.  I've flown 7 times in the last two months.  I don't check luggage unless I'm going for more than 5 days, in general.

On my carry-on luggage, I pack my clothes, my mini-shampoo/toothpaste/deodorant, razor and an extra cartridge, toothbrush, phone charger, and typically my camera (since I don't plan to take pictures on the plane).  In my "personal item" I keep my laptop, laptop cord, and iPod.

My g/f teases me when I come to visit her because she says she'd pack an entire suitcase with just shoes.  I hope not (she's coming to visit me in a couple weeks).
I have a crap ton of clothes, it seems :(

I have my 2 suits, blazer, slacks, 3 dress shirts, 2 pair shoes (not including tennis shoes I'll be wearing), 1 pair of jeans, a couple of tshirts, and one nicer shirt aside from my dress shirts.  + camera, cell/pda/camera chargers, God knows what else.
...I leave wednesay afternoon & return sunday night...this is a lot of clothing for my to have in a carry on, its a lot of crap period.

"Slacks"?  What are you?  90?

Anyway, don't forget to pack your nuclear materials.

When you turn your head just right, do people around you hear a whisteling?

what does that even mean?

CrAz3D: Do you have a garment bag or is this going in a suitcase? If you're putting it in a suitcase I suggest investing in a garment bag (but be prepared to spend around $130...at least I think that's what mine was.) You'll probably be able to fit most of your stuff in it (definitely suits, ties, shoes, blazer, shirts) and they won't get all wrinkled in stuff. The only downfall is you won't be able to carry it on as it'd be too big I think. Don't quote me on that since I'm not sure, but I think it would be.

...the ear whistling thing is "is my head empty"


I have a garment bag that came with suit...its gonna hold the 2 suits & blazer/slacks.  That'll be my carry on.
