TSA Now Requiring All Electronic Items Placed In Bins at SFO
Wow, flying out of SFO just became much worse. While traveling this morning I surprised to find out that TSA is now requiring that you remove all electronic devices from your carry-on bags, including cables etc. and place them in a separate bin to be scanned at the security checkpoints. Along with slowing down the line to a crawl, this will undoubtedly lead to people losing expensive equipment, not to mention the possiblity for your stuff to be accidentally taken by someone else or even stolen.
Of course none of this information is mentioned on either the TSA or SFO websites.
Does anyone know if TSA is requiring this at any other airports?
Who are these fucking clowns -- they maximize the hassle-factor for common travelers while leaving gaping holes in basic airport security procedures that have been breached time and again by people trying to test the system...
I do understand a need for airport security but they should spend the money and hire some competent people before some moke actually succeeds.
