Checkmate
Flight Attendant (FA): Sir, the flight is totally full. Can you pit you backpack under the seat in front of you rather than in the overhead?
Me: Why?
FA: So this who brought roll aboards can use the space.
Me: I checked my roll aboard so I'd have room to put my one carrying item, which by your policy I'm allowed, in the overhead. I plan on putting my feet under the seat in front of me.
FA: If you can't or won't put it under your seat I'll have to check it for you.
Me: If you do that then I'm afraid that I'd be so worried about it that I won't be able to carry out exit row duties, and you'll have to reseat me on this FULL plane.
Bag stayed in the overhead. I kept my seat too!
Checkmate! I win!
IMHO, Any roll aboard larger than a hat-box should be checked. It's getting both ridiculous and dangerous having all that crap up there.

Next Trip sans laptops
Going on a shot trip. I'm not quite convinced that I can be "effective" with just my iPhone (personal) and a BlackBerry (work).
I will keep notes and report on my blog when I return.
Stay Tuned!

> By the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
> > New Braunfels Smokehouse, of New Braunfels, Texas, is recalling approximately 2,609 pounds of fully cooked, ready-to-eat smoked turkey breast products that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The turkey breasts were distributed nationwide.
> > The products subject to recall include: 1-pound packages of New Braunfels Smokehouse Sliced Smoked Turkey with package code 2210 on the label; 4 to 6 lb. packages of New Braunfels Honey-Glazed Spiral Sliced Smokehouse Hickory Smoked Boneless Breast of Turkey with package code 2180 on the label; 4 to 6 lb. whole breast packages of Stegall Boneless Hickory Smoked Turkey Breast with package code 2210 on the label; 4 to 6 lb. whole breast packages of Stegall Spiral Sliced Hickory Smoked Turkey Breast with package codes 2180 or 2210 on the label.
> > Each package bears the USDA mark of inspection and the number P-975 inside the mark of inspection. The fully cooked, ready-to-eat smoked turkey breast products were produced on Aug. 4, and distributed nationwide, including catalog and Internet sales. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on FSIS' website atwww.fsis.usda.gov/FSIS_Recalls/ Open_Federal_Cases/index.asp .
