Its not the TSA that is trying to kill 1000s of people. Want to know what will be next ask those who are looking for ways to cause Massive Deaths of Innocent people.

I agree it can at times is very time consuming and very SLOW getting thru the Checkpoints, but as long as I will have the ability to have to endure another check-point another day I can live with it, alot better then not being around

Really? My GF flew on Sunday out of PBI, and they said only electronics larger than a portable CD player had to be taken out, and nothing about plugs and such. She even asked them about her ipod and cell phone, and they told her she could leave it in.

Typical TSA - no idea on the actual rule....

As much as this effects all B6 passengers, this is still a travel safety and security issue. I'm moving it over to the appropriate forum.

I suspect we'll see a merger with other appropriate threads, but until then...

The TSA's official directive states that only large electronic items, like DVD players and game systems (PS3, etc.) need to be removed and examined.

Of course, many idiots on the front lines didn't get the updated memo from the TSA, and are insisting all electronics come out.

Since we have a very active thread on this subject already, we'll merge the two.

Thanks.

But it is the TSA that has consistent failure rates of 80%+ in finding Red Team objects. It is not true security.

Then I am sure that you will be happy to volunteer to be naked and handcuffed to your seat with no baggage of any sort allowed, because that is the only way you can really feel safe.

Oh geez, melodramatics straight from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Personally, I don't mind slower lines. The problem right now is how the slower lines are a product of seriously flawed thinking and "security."

This, and any others who think this way, always remind me of people who have never read the works of one of the intellectuals present during the formation of the USA, Benjamin Franklin. One of my favorite quotes is also seen in several posters signature lines here at FT:

Flew out of PBI today. Took 30 seconds to get through the checkpoint. They seemed pretty familiar with the CORRECT rules.

Yes, The rules will be here to stay. I know that I saw passengers was taking out the DVD player at checkpoint this morning. I was get through checkpoint during my break from work. I don't have anything more common problems from TSA this morning. TSA is during the searching the DVD player or else. It is no problems at all. I don't think TSA will changed the rules for while.

PHX TSA (UA T2) is barking out this morning, "Remember, everyone, all electronics out of your bag and all liquids in one quart plastic container."

Let the inconsistencies continue.

FYI I did not remove anything except my laptop (and did not remove my kippie bag) and it went right through.

Did anyone actually read the article? Unless your idea of an Ipod has a few desktop drives inside of it, you won't need to worry. People with portable DVD players will have to take them out. They're essentially mini computers.

Those people talking about this article and phones and ipods are just acting childish. If I didn't know better, I'd say that this forum is full of people who just like to complain about things for no reason.

It is the people who are combative with the TSA who talk back and complain about regulations and rules who cause far more delays than someone having to take one article from their carryon. I take my laptop out now. If i had a DVD player to take out, it would not delay my getting through security by one second. It is not a rate taking step. It would delay my departure from security by the time it takes to put the item into my bag.

Flying back LAS-MSP on a red-eye Tuesday morning, ALL electronics, not just computers, did have to come out in the security line, and a screener inspected my small Canon Elph digital camera from every possible angle. I even started to give him a few tips about it, in case he was thinking of buying one. I had no idea it was a new rule, thought I just got "lucky."

Well if you'd bothered to read what actual reports other people have made who are actually flying (and having to remove ALL electronics) at various airports you would have more accurate information. I did read the article all the way through (and others) but the reality is TSA is being inconsistant in what they are requiring at individual airports - what a surprise.
