What are you going to do if when its your time to board and they stop carry ons and you HAVE to ck it???? Are you going to cancel your flight , ck it like instructed and its not prepared proberly to go under the plane take the chance that nothing will happen, if something happens to it the airlines are not responsible. Have you watched them load luggage it wouldnt have a snowballs chance in H... Have you flown lately to know how about 1/2 the passengers WILL HAVE to ck their carryon. There was an older lady a few in front of us and she was so upset she couldnt take her carryon on board which she had her meds and a few other important things in, they made NO exception..they told her to step aside and open her carryon get what she most needed and to place them in her purse. They were very rude to this older lady who was traveling by herself she was beside herself and sisnt understand why she could take her things with her. I personally would pack it bubble wrap it and take a chance with mailing ..
