Simple Answer To This New Problem With Airports ?
http://
Surely the simple answer answer is put your Mobile, etc into your hold luggage. And why are hundreds of people every day having to discard their nail scissors, Swiss Army knives, etc into bins at passport control ! We have had regulations against these for many years and yet people don't seem to be aware that you can't take sharp objects in your hand luggage any more !

Electronics can be used as detonators. The powers that be want people to turn on their phones etc so that they can see they are a phone and not something else. This isn`t the first time that people have been asked to turn on their phones - it happened after 9/11. Of course, in those days there weren`t as many PEDs as there are now. There has obviously been credible evidence that something is afoot regarding PEDs and I doubt that "they" want to give out too many details.
I don't see why my uncharged device is more of an issue than some unchecked device I've put in a suitcase. I decide to blow up a plane. I put a bomb in the suitcase which will be undetected and when I phone it from my fully charged device it will blow up. Sooooo not logical. Purleaase. This post may mean the end of my holiday if MI5 or whoever read it lol.
But it will be detected because they x ray the suitcases....and if anything untoward is found, you will have to ID the suitcase and the contents will be gone over with a fine toothed comb unless you are in the US in which case they will just break into it and leave you a nice little letter to say that they have been there.
Sher - yes. If they find something that they want to have a closer look at, they go into the suitcase. That doesn`t mean that there is anything sinister in there. I have had them break into mine because (I`m pretty sure) I had a tube of Pringles that I took to Washington for New Year`s Eve. Or rather, we didn`t eat them so I brought them home again. They would have shown up as something that couldn`t be identified on the x ray so they needed to do a manual search. I have a TSA lock as well, but that didn`t stop the numpties from breaking in and busting the lock.
I brought some Swiffer floor wipes home from San Francisco yesterday. I wasn`t sure whether to put them in the suitcase or my cabin bag. I decided to put them in the suitcase fully expecting to find a letter from the TSA when I got home. I didn`t get a letter from the TSA but I did get a major leak from the Swiffers - oops.
From the TSA's website (before the current changes)...
Explosives Detection System
Ever wonder what happens to your bag once you check it with your airline? We screen every bag placed on an airplane, whether taken as carry-on or checked with an airline. With nearly 2 million people flying each day, it's a Herculean task.
We are able to meet this requirement by using Explosive Detection System (EDS) machines, which work like the CT machines in a doctor's office. Through a sophisticated analysis of each checked bag, the EDS machines can quickly capture an image of a single bag and determine if a bag contains a potential threat item . If a bag requires additional screening, it may be automatically diverted to a resolution room where security officers will quickly inspect it to ensure it doesn’t contain a threat item. Once cleared, the bag is reintroduced to the system, where it continues onto the aircraft. In some cases, the alarm is quickly resolved and in others law enforcement and/or the bomb squad may be called in.
When used in conjunction with an airport's automated inline baggage handling system, we achieve dramatic improvements in both security and efficiency.
Explosives Trace Detection
Explosives Trace Detection (ETD) is technology used at security checkpoints around the country to screen baggage and passengers for traces of explosives. Officers may swab a piece of carry-on or checked baggage or a passenger’s hands and then place the swab inside the ETD unit to analyze it for the presence of potential explosive residue.
In 2010, TSA expanded its use of ETD technology in airports as part of our layered approach to aviation security and to keep passengers safe.
Passengers may experience screening of their hands using an ETD swab at the security checkpoint, in the checkpoint queue, or boarding areas. To ensure the health of travelers, screening swabs are disposed of after each use. Since ETD technology is used on a random basis, passengers should not expect to see the same thing at every airport or each time they travel.
