Yes, battery powered wrist watches make them electrical as defined by other
posters, so they would be prohibited as well. Even if you take the battery
out of the watch, it probably has a capacitor in it with a charge capable of
detonating a nuclear bomb. Don't fret, on those long international runs,
the flight attendants will be selling duty free mechanical watches. Now, I
wonder about those hearing aids? Who said the airlines were going to go
broke over this paranoia? This is getting better than Girls Gone Wild!

P.S. Like shampoo, why do you need a watch on the flight? The only thing
that matters is that you get there.

Are wrist watches prohibited? Or would mechanical watches be allowed,
but electronic watches forbidden?

Are all writing implements with fliud ink forbidden? Would it be
sufficient to emty the ink from a fountain pen? How would you remove
the ink from a ball point pen, a roller ball pen, or a felt tip marker?

None of these are explicitly listed on the lists of permitted or
prohibited itmes.
