All of the increased revenue from selling VR's allowed them to cut tobacco products.

But on a serious note, really impressive to cut what I am sure is a big money-maker

Only posting this because I have an interesting theory: There is an issur to be oishe tzrochim bein mizrach lemarav... (For more info see S"O O"C 3:5)

Are dogs sensitive to this? Do you have a better theory?

Or you can do this...
Interesting.
Will have to try it next time. Worst case they take it away.
Last time I flew (DL glitch) my friend had a container of Cream Cheese in his bag and they took it away after it passed through the scanner.

http://imatravelninja.com/2012/05/16/take-alcohol-to-drink-on-your-flight/

Interesting discussion in the comments about the legality of drinking you own alcohol on flights.

Seems like you're allowed to drink your own but you must give it to a FA serve it to you.

Interesting. The comments cite http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgFAR.nsf/0/4169CCE6717F88B386256BC9004338B6.
