This ban if it includes photographic equipment will seriously hurt the tourism industry. (how many European visitors does the USA get each year and how many Americans visit Europe) I regularly visit the EAA Oshkosh event (had over 2300 international visitors in 2016 and many will have expensive camera gear) but if I am forced to risk my equipment into the loving care of checked baggage then I am having doubts about future trips. Airlines always say never to put valuables into checked luggage and insurance would not cover this either. So what steps will be taken to guarantee that it would not get lost / damaged or stolen?
