It's a little inconvenient, but I'll bet you can buy all of those things in Mexico if you can't take them along.

I'm flying out tonight and was hoping to just bring carry-on luggage since I'll only be gone for the weekend. Does anyone know where I can find out about the heightened security measures?

My kids are making their first unaccompanied flight today, to Florida, to see their Grandpa. My ex-husband is freaking out. I think today will be the safest day to fly. They're checking everything so carefully.

CNN, etc. all have the heightened security info posted.

This is from the London Times, so I'd take it with a grain of salt (unless you're flying to London). Like KLPDaisy said, I'd call the airport. In the meantime, read this:

In related? news, they stopped two middle eastern men in Ohio were pulled over on a routine traffic stop. In the car, there was found to be $11,000 cash, a glut of disposable cell phones, airline passenger lists, and analyses of airport security checkpoints.

In other related? news, 3 Egyptian students were picked up after disappearing subsequent to their entry to the U.S. on student visas and failing to report to school. 8 remain at large. There is no terror link thought to exist at this time.
