Ever Wonder Which Electronics You Need to Take Out During Airport Screening?

As a person who does a fair amount of air travel, I sometimes wonder what the standard is for removing items from my carry-on bags at the airport screening  checkpoints.  I often travel with several electronic gadgets and found it useful to have come across the official blog of the TSA (Transportation Security Administration):

"E-readers, Net Books and other small gadgets are becoming more and more popular for travelers to bring along in their carry-ons. (iPads, Kindles™, Neos, Nooks™, Sony® Readers™ etc.)

Electronic items smaller than the standard sized laptop should not need to be removed from your bag or their cases. It’s that simple.It’s important to remember, however, that our officers are trained to look for anomalies to help keep air travel safe, and if something needs a closer look, it will receive secondary screening.

Only electronics the size of a standard laptop or larger (for example Playstation®, Xbox™, or Nintendo®), full-size DVD players, and video cameras that use video cassettes must be removed from their carrying cases and submitted separately for x-ray screening."
