How many luggage are we allowed to carry on the board and bags for checking in?
I wanted to know the recent rules for the luggage for the international flight from USA to over sea (Japan). Also what web site do I go to look all the changes of airport security regulation and information about luggage on flight?

usually two, but each airline is different, and worst case,
after you get through security, you can "gate check" a bag if it doesn't fit in the cabin.
so at least you know it got on the same plane as you.
good luck.

Go to the web site of your carrier/the company you are flying with (i.e. United, JAL, etc...) to find out what the baggage requirements are. It seems as if they are allowing only a single carry on: A carry on includes a purse, laptop, brief case, fanny pack, or coat you will not be wearing. However, the maximum size carry on is still reasonably large and tends to be a max of 35 pounds which allows you to put things like a purse, laptop, etc... within a larger case. I will say that when they give the dimensions of the carry on, these dimensions include any bulges created by stuffing the case you've selected. Many of the airlines are also only allowing a single bag in the belly of the plane without additional charge. Again, checked baggage has size and weight restrictions which vary from carrier to carrier.
In our area, they are recommending that you show up at least 4 hours before an overseas flight; on the news, there have been reports of people showing up 5 to 6 hours in advance. Beyond this there appear to be few consistent rules. There are general, Federal rules but since there was a bit of scandal over the internet posting of the rules, guidelines, and more last early December (09) or so - getting this type of information is harder to find out. The rules are always subject to immediate change. And, each airport is allowed to institute their own security procedures, rules, and more. This means that what passes and is allowed at one airport may not be at the next; including those where you may be transferring from one plane to another. I would call you carrier at the airport you are leaving from and ask what they suggest.
In general, carry all of your clothing pocket contents in plastic baggies when going through check points. Be prepared to remove metal clothing or other items from your body. Be prepared to remove shoes. All medications and in particular prescription medications should be carried in their original bottle or container. I do believe that any form of a knife or box cutter, including those little .5-1.0" nail cleaning knives, are not allowed. Do not expect to be able to take a lighter and, sometimes you may not take matches either. Do not expect to be allowed to continue through a check point with any type of scissors, nail clippers, knitting needles (even plastic at times), crochet hooks (even plastic at times), or silverware (even plastic at times); if you take these types of things in your carry on luggage, don't take items you are not willing and able to replace. Beverages, liquids, gels, and powders continue to be an issue of great variance. Do not plan to take a beverage or empty beverage container (even a paper coffee cup) across a check point; if it's a paper coffee cup you don't mind losing, you can try it but expect to be asked to take a drink for them. The general rule of thumb is no more than 2 ounces of any substance in your carry on luggage; it is better if it is in its original container and best if not opened. If you have any type of electronically device, expect to have to remove it from the carry on case and any additional inner case for inspection. Expect to do the same with cords, memory chips, flash cards, etc...; also expect to identify what goes where and even demonstrate that they do plug into the device you've identified. - And this is just what I've heard of with respect to domestic travel.
What may be interesting are some of those body belts and hidden purses recommended for holding valuables, money, passports, and documents under your clothing..... From what I can tell, these will show up in either form of the body scanner. And then, there are those of us who spread out and stash money in/under various pieces of clothing; I would guess they could spot the money in my sock, the bill folded under my arch, etc.... Again, however how these types of things are interpreted and the resulting action is up to the procedures at each airport and then the actual screeners involved.
Even so, the watch word seems to be that there will be eyes looking for signs of nervousness and stress.
