Great news frequent fliers — the already delightful TSA routine of unpacking your bags,lena the plug sex video taking off your shoes, and organizing a conveyor belt full of bins could soon be getting even moredemanding.
The Wall Street Journalreports that the TSA will likely soon require passengers to remove additional items from their bags and place them in a separate bin to be checked, including any electronic device larger than a cellphone.
This means that, in addition to getting your laptops a bin of their own, travelers may also have to remove tablets, Kindles, iPads and the rest.

Airport security protocols and technology regulations have been heavy topics of discussion over the past few months due to Trump's attempted travel bans and devices being prohibited on certain flights, but the TSA's decision to expand the device removal policy at checkpoints is reportedly unrelated.
TSA screeners hope the changes will help cut down on problems with overpacked carry-on bags that make security X-rays difficult to read. More and more travelers are reportedly cramming overflow items into their carry-ons to avoid paying steep checked baggage fees, so asking that these extra devices be removed could speed up the boarding process.
In a tweet, TSA confirmed there are small-scale trials at 10 U.S. airports, but no nationwide procedures of the same nature have yet been put into place.

According to The Wall Street Journal, tests began in small airports in Colorado, Idaho, and Texas but have since spread to Los Angeles, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Boston, Detroit, Fort Lauderdale, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. The items travelers will be required to remove at checkpoints could reportedly vary from airport by airport, and even include removal of paper products or food, but the procedures likely won't effect Pre-Check lanes.
Darby LaJoye, TSA assistant administrator for security operations, told The Wall Street Journalthe administration has been considering making changes at X-ray machines for nearly 18 months. "It is not any one particular item we’re worried about. It’s not about paper or food or anything. It’s how best to divest those items," he said.
The new rules are set to be enforced once the summer travel season is over, so get ready to juggle those bins.
