We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Last week I told you about the increased security for folks traveling from Canada or Mexico to the US.

    And now, via The Points Guy, there will soon be enhanced security measures in all domestic airports, too!  The TSA will require that folks take out any electronics larger than a cell phone from their bags, and screen them separately.

    So it’s a good idea to arrive to the airport extra early, even if you have a short-haul domestic flight!

    Expect Longer Security Lines With This New TSA Rule

    I’ll give you the details about this new security procedure.

    Increased TSA Security Measures in the Coming Months

    Link:   TSA Raises Security for Domestic Flights

    If you’re flying within the US, you’ll likely be waiting longer at security in the near future.

    The TSA wants to take a closer look at electronics folks want to carry on the plane.  Here’s what to expect:

    So this new rule from the TSA affects devices similar to the recent Middle East electronics ban.  To be clear, you can still bring these items into the plane with you.

    TSA PreCheck Will Now Be Extra Handy!

    Folks who have TSA PreCheck will NOT be affected by this new policy.  They can still walk through security with their shoes and jackets on, and their electronics still inside their bags.  So if you don’t have TSA PreCheck (or Global Entry, which almost guarantees TSA PreCheck), now is a good time to get it!

    Several cards will reimburse the price of your Global Entry application, including:

    Use one of these cards to pay for your Global Entry application, and you’ll receive a statement credit for the expense!

    Bottom Line

    The TSA will soon require folks to remove any electronics larger than a cell phone from their bag and place them in a separate bin.  This means security lines could get even longer than they already are!

    If you aren’t enrolled in TSA PreCheck or Global Entry, now is a great time!  That’s because folks with TSA PreCheck are NOT affected by this new TSA procedure.  They can still keep all electronics in their bag!

    What do you think about this new security measure?
