I flew in to Salt Lake City on Wednesday night from Montreal, Canada. They were extremely cautious in checking your carry-on baggage. Many small items were confiscated including fingernail files and manicure scissors. You also had to show proof that any electronic item you were carrying was operable, including cell phones, video cameras, cd walkmans, etc. I highly suggest you have fully charged batteries on any item you are carrying. They said they would confiscate any non-working item. One additional item was curling irons were told to be put in your checked luggage.

I was not nervous flying home. Everything went very smoothly with a little patience for lines.
