All: I would like to generate some discussion regarding the creation of a survival kit that can be safely carried on an airline flight without violating the many restrictions passengers now face. Let's try to avoid getting into a discussion about the probability of surviving a crash. Rather, I believe we could benefit from consolidating our ideas regarding those items that could prove valuable in the even of a crash or in an emergency that presents itself prior to linking up to one's checked luggage. Actually, I'm surprised that I haven't uncovered an example of an "airline compliant" kit on equipped or during a recent search of online content. Any thoughts? Thanks, -SMC
