Hi everyone. I'm a bit confused regarding TSA's stance for bringing portable electronic equipment through airport security.

I know all large electronics like laptops and camcorders need to be removed from your carry-on and placed in separate bins.

But how about portable CD players, digital cameras, and compact discs?

I'd like to take these three personal items with me on board my flight.

So would I have to take each out of my carry-on at the security checkpoint?

Please let me know what the current rule of thumb is for these types of small electronics.
