Probably.  TSA SecureFlight The Transportation Security Administration, better known as TSA, has come up with a new regulation that is going to make domestic travel in the US a lot safer.
Are you ready for this?
Your name on the ticket must match your name on the ID.
Yup. That’s the new rule.
Now of course the TSA’s agents have been checking ID’s and tickets since they opened their doors to the traveling public, on November 19, 2001. So my question is, what have they been looking for?
If the ID and the name on the ticket didn’t have to match until now, what was all the fuss about? (Actually this does kind of explain how my wife flew on her co-workers ticket by accident last year, but that’s another story).
So look out you terrorist goons! No more tickets in the name of M. Mouse, or I.P. Freely. Unless you’ve got the ID to back it up that is.
Florida, that is…
So I recently had the pleasure of spending another week in the Fort Lauderdale area, this time in Hollywood, Florida. I got to spend 8 days at the beautiful Westin Diplomat hotel, see beautiful hotel pictures below.
In Case the Ocean isn’t enough…

We are the mighty business traveler. We fly from coast to coast on a moments notice, not to ride Space Mountain or shop at Saks Fifth Avenue, but to do the job, close the deal, save the client, and make the company successful. We rack up frequent flyer miles the way other people rack up [...]
So Fiesta is an awesome time to be in San Antonio. Last year I was there for Fiesta, and enjoyed the music, the parades, the cervezas, the medals, the whole enchilada, if you will.
This year Fiesta rolled around, and I was headed to San Antonio again, but one week too late. Sad face. Oh [...]

So that Icelandic volcano, Eklziojklazlkjoiawzapoppin, severely upset European and even some North American travel, and that’s got some brainy folks thinking about how to overcome that sort of disruption in the future. I admit that I [...]
The thing about Disney World hotels, is that there are an awful lot of them. I haven’t stayed at all of them, or even 1% of them probably, but I’ve stayed at my fair share, most recently at Disney’s Coronado Springs.
Coronado Springs is really more like a series of hotels that ring a small lake. [...]
Holy cow! We couldn’t believe it ourselves. We were just having a staff meeting of all the writers, editors, bloggers, videographers, on-air talent, gaffers, and the best boy, here in my hotel room, and it occurred to us that it’s our 1/2 year anniversary.
In blog years that’s like as old as CBS is!
Anyway we’re going [...]
The Associated Press is reporting that 6 US Senators are threatening to tax the airlines if they implement a fee for carry on bags.
Unrelated, the airlines have reported that they will charge a new fee for the tax they might have to pay someday for charging fees for carry on bags.

I recently had the very good fortune to spend 5 nights at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. The Palace is located right in the heart of downtown, as the travel writers say, and is just off Market Street.
As part of my grueling job of describing business travel locations to the masses, I occasionally have [...]
Personally I hope the FAA never removes the ban on cell phones in-flight. I have enough crying babies and chatty seatmates to deal with without hearing about some guys colonoscopy exam from two rows back.
