Could travellers to the USA be struck down by boredom?

New security measures on flights to and within America mean that on many airlines, during the final hour of flight passengers must remain seated, will not be allowed to access carry-on baggage, or have personal belongings or other items ontheir laps. So no lastminute games on the DS, PSP or iPhone for transatlantic flyers, and jolly dull trips for anyonegoing state to state. The noughtsand- crosses revival starts here.
