731. Am I an item?

From the Swiss Air website:

"In addition to the hand baggage, the following items are allowed on board if necessary (except infants)

• 1 coat or blanket
  
• 1 umbrella or walking stick
  
• 1 ladies’ handbag
  
• 1 small camera or 1 set of binoculars
  
• reading for the journey"

Infants are items and, if you misread the sentence (like I did the first time), are never necessary.
