Traveling with electronics? These 5 items could raise TSA red flags

The article says that some common electronics and battery-powered items can prompt extra checks at airport security, potentially delaying travellers. Knowing how to pack them and checking airline rules in advance can help avoid hold-ups and reduce risks linked to lithium batteries.

Power banks and devices with built-in batteries should go in carry-on luggage; most power banks must be no more than 100 watt-hours. A 20,000mAh bank at 3.7 volts is 74Wh, while larger lithium-ion batteries need airline approval and are limited to two per person. Vapes must also be carried in the cabin, and rules for items such as laser pointers and smart luggage can vary by airline; removable batteries should be taken out of checked smart bags.
