NAro, you've given me a great idea for my set up and thanks. I've had corruption if immigration officials from Philippines to Mexico and now I'm exploring a new little island that is very far from land (Not Hawaii) So it will be island surviving involving several puddle jumpers aircraft to get me there. I am now realizing with the new requirements with carry on will not cut it for my stay duration, so I will have to check a sacrificial clothing bag checked. If TSA wants to steal my underwear then so be it. I also will take your advice upon just throwing all my stuff in the carry on except for money and passport.
Thanks all for the advice, I'm slowly forced to evolve to make the heard happy.
