> It sounds like they're banning people from bringing them on board, on just from using them

Why do they need to bring it on board if they aren't going to use it? Given it's a safety risk if used and has no approved therapeutic use the rule seems fine.

Presumably this can wait until they land.

No checked luggage? To use at the other side? To deliver to someone else?

Air travel is horrible enough already with the BS restrictions (eg water bottles). Let’s not encourage making it even worse. Airlines are already screwed enough right now without putting off the few people that are still travelling with even more restrictions and surcharges.

"No checked luggage" is a choice. I've checked luggage specifically and only to transport something I couldn't bring in the cabin. It's not unusual.

"Airlines are already screwed enough right now without putting off the few people that are still travelling with even more restrictions and surcharges."

Evidently American Airlines would disagree with you since they are imposing this rule themselves.

U.S. airlines started charging extra years ago to NOT carry things on board.
