Our travel office has advised us that for flights to/from/through Germany,
*no* electric devices of any type are allowed.  Specifically mentioned were
even mundane things like electric razors.  I think this applies to all
luggage, not just carry-on.  I do not know about other countries.  Apparently,
carry-on luggage on all flights is limited to one piece (time to search?)

Also be advised that check-in lead time for international flights is now in
the 3+ hour range.
