Jenison, Mich.: I plan on taking an empty water bottle through security and then filling it. Where would be the best place? A drinking fountain or the bathroom sink?

Peter E. Tarlow: Bathroom sink...you have no idea whose mouth has touched the drinking fountain.

Houston, Tex.: Do you see anytime soon the liquid and gel rules changing? The fact that people do still get through security with more than allowed shows that the rule may not really be doing anything to curb dangerous acts.

Peter E. Tarlow: This is being discussed at the Las Vegas tourism security conference being held right now. Unfortunately, airline security is reactive and not proactive. Do not expect a change in the near future.

Dyer, Ind.: We were hoping to make it to Greece next year in May. Should we wait another year or two because of all the fire damage to the countryside? Photography is one of the reasons we love to travel.

Peter E. Tarlow: Athens and the islands are fine. The people of Greece will appreciate your support and going there now is an act of showing that you care. Most tourism areas should not be impacted by the fires.

Spring Valley, Calif.: Bali, Indonesia--do you think Americans should try to avoid this region? What is your take on this region?

Peter E. Tarlow: Go, but be very careful. Bali's website--at least the last time we checked--does not even mention security and often its tourism people are in denial.
