(I will have to give a lightbulb award to the Scott eVest folks - they seized the opportunity to market their multiple-pocket vests & jackets as a way to have more stuff in the cabin without violating carry-on limits.)

No additional pat downs, no forbidding electronic devices, etc. As of right now, the additional security mentioned in the links applies only to international flights headed for the US. Which means that if you're in a foreign country and headed home, prepare for some shenanigans, but otherwise it's business as usual for domestic travel. In other words, chill out.

Let's increase security measures at airports and maybe start a terrorist watch list - been their, done that. Reminds me of a movie from the 70s... “But Delta’s already on probation.” “They are? Well, as of this moment, they’re on DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION!” If Animal House were a government operation, the fed's would start a TRIPLE SECRET PROBATION program. What?

“But Delta’s already on probation.”
“They are? Well, as of this moment, they’re on DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION!”
