Okay, something that finally occurred to me (I'm a little slow sometimes, but I eventually get there):

They showed everyone's purse/bag being stowed in the rear lavatories.

Does anyone know if they really do that when they have time to prepare for a hard landing? I sure wouldn't want to be evacuating the plane without my wallet, keys, cellphone, pda, ID, ATM card, etc.

If so, then I'm going to be wearing loaded cargo pants if I ever fly again!
