Canada bans most US-bound carry-on bags following Christmas attack

Canada bans most US-boun

Canadian officials have banned most carry-on luggage for US-bound passengers following a failed Christmas Day plot to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner. Transport Canada said Monday that passengers may only carry medical devices, small purses, cameras, laptop computers, canes, walkers, diaper bags, musical instruments and bags containing "life-sustaining items." Travelers headed for the United States have been allowed to carry on only one bag since Saturday, following 23-year-old Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's alleged attempted to bring down a Northwest Airlines flight as it prepared to land in Detroit on Friday.
