...passengers planned to change their near-term travel plans. The tough new baggage restrictions, in which nearly all carry-on luggage was initially banned, could have an impact on future travel, the survey found, but since then the rules have already been eased slightly to allow some cabin baggage. The upshot, according to Deutsche Bank analyst Chris Reid: "Current travel volumes should not be challenged." The one sector that might be affected for a while is the burgeoning low-cost carriers in Europe, such as Ryanair and easyJet, which have soared to prominence by tapping into demand for cheap weekend...
...years ago, Dee Williams, a toxic-waste inspector, put her 2,000-sq.-ft. bungalow in Portland, Ore., on the market and moved into an 84-sq.-ft. cabin on wheels that she built using salvaged cedar, torn-up jeans for insulation and solar cells for power.

Three Panic Trucks have been built and five are in the works, says Watson, who loves the passion with which people embrace his creations: "They...

In five-hour stints, he'll take the wheel while his companion beds down in the padded cabin bunk. Each knows the other's boundaries. "If someone doesn't want to talk," says Schneider, "you leave him alone and he leaves you alone...
