Traveling this summer may be a little
different as you go through security. You may be required to remove your
Kindle, paperback book, food, and any other tech items larger than a cell phone
from your carry-on bag. This new procedure is being tested at 10 airports,
reports the TSA.
Why? Several reasons. Passengers are
cramming more and more stuff into their carry-on bags and backpacks. This tight
packing makes it harder for the agents to properly screen the bags. Therefore,
more bags have to be hand screened. This all takes time to ensure proper
screening.
The airports where this is being
tested are Boise, Colorado Springs, Detroit, Fort Lauderdale, Boston, LA,
Lubbock, San Juan, Las Vegas, and Phoenix.
You will need to remove those items
and place them in a bin. Passengers with TSA pre-check may be exempt.
According to the TSA, this should
shorten time in the security line as not as many bags will be hand inspected.
Thoughts?
