According to the latest TSA posting on their website, here is the latest official TSA position on electronic items. Note: this is only for U.S. domestic flights.

Question: Media have also reported that laptops, cell phones and electronic items are no longer allowed. Is that true?

Answer: No. TSA continues to allow laptop computers, cell phones and other electronic items.

Unfortunately the good news stops when it comes to ANY liquid substance. Deodorant, make-up, liquid medicine, eye drops, hair spray, you name it. It also sounds like conditions and restrictions continue to be different at different airports.

Here’s s snippet of a post from yet another flight attendant this morning:

“The entire SFO operation was a zoo to put it mildly. No liquids allowed on the plane period. Then they began re-searching bags at the podium because they discovered some passengers came in from the Islands and were connecting. TSA kept changing their policies as they were learning of them and it was at first no liquids period, then the policy extended to aerosol cans, then next came aerosol cans were allowed then the shoes off policy went into effect and everything kept changing. All this happened in the 15 minutes I was in line to get screened (I went to the front of the line).”
