EVJTA Posted August 8, 2007 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2007 This was just e-mailed to me. Thought I would pass it on.. Please note that effective 12:01am, August 4, 2007, TSA implemented new checkpoint security screening procedures that will require passengers to remove large electronic items, i.e., video games, and DVD and CD players, for separate screening like current procedures for laptops. Unfortunately, TSA did not provide the carriers with much advance notice, so please pass this along to your travelers to make them aware and help them plan accordingly for this new requirement.

Leo Jay Posted August 8, 2007 #2 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Thanks. From the TSA website: Video Game Consoles Effective August 4, 2007, laptop computers, full-size video game consoles (for example Playstation®, X-box®, 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. Laptop computers and video cameras that use cassettes have long been subject to this policy. What Needs to be Screened Separately Laptops Full-size video game consoles Full-size DVD players Video cameras that use video cassettes CPAP breathing machines Small and portable electronic items do not need to be removed from their carrying cases. http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/sop/index.shtm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinmama06 Posted August 8, 2007 #3 Share Posted August 8, 2007 You scared me for a minute until I read FULL SIZED. So the portable DVD players and gameboys my kids bring can stay safely in their backpacks when we go through security? I just keep thinking of all of the things I have to pull out to begin with...we are already a mess at the security check points with strollers and other kid supplies.
