Planning A "Carry-On Only" Trip? Check Out These 10 Items That Are Truly Worth The Space
A strap to keep your personal items (neck pillow, jacket, purse, etc.) together so you can easily run around the airport without worrying about leaving anything behind.
A splurge-worthy set of Cadence Capsules that stick together ~magnetically~ and take up way less space in your bag than big pill bottles. They'll help you condense so you're bringing what you actually need (and not overpacking); plus, they're leakproof and incredibly sturdy so you can fill 'em with whatever: creams, vitamins, small jewelry — truly anything small that you want to keep safe.
Or a TSA-approved 16-piece travel toiletries set with a container for each and every one of your tried-and-true faves so you don't have to spend more money on the travel-size versions. These are reusable and leakproof, so your products (and other stuff in your bag!) will stay protected.
A Hackwith Design House shirt because there's nothing more travel-friendly than a top you can wear *five* different ways (that we know of — but you might discover more playing around with it). It's timeless because you can always change how you style it, and it's made from a high-quality fabric that's soft, breathable, and can last for years.
A 2-in-1 hair tool that curls and straightens so you can achieve the perfect balance of texture and shine with just *one* tool. It's easy to pack for trips, *and* it's dual-voltage so you can have gorgeous hair no matter the country you're visiting.
A portable rain hood to pair with *any* jacket so you don't have to try to cram in your practical raincoats. You can keep it in your bag for any impromptu downpours!
A flying USB port with four spots to plug in your gadgets so you don't have to pack different power adapters. And bonus: This allows you to make the most of that one working outlet you managed to find at the airport!
A Subtl Beauty Stack to condense up to nine makeup products into one small stack. You can customize yours with anything from lip tints to face powder. And as convenient as it is for travel, it's also perfect to keep in your purse for any on-the-go touch-ups!
A skyline mini wallet emergency kit packed with the practical items that are easy to forget (like hair ties, tampons, Tylenol, and more!) while still being small enough to fit in your purse — so it definitely *won't* take up too much space in your carry-on.

TSA Teases End Of Limits On Liquids In Carry-On Luggage
The Department of Homeland Security recently teased the idea of ending its limits of liquids passing through TSA airport security. getty Another major change may be coming to TSA airport security protocols as it considers ending another of its long-standing policies. Recently, the Department of Homeland Security teased the end of the limits on liquids coming through airport security, with Secretary Kristi Noem saying that she is 'questioning' the current limits on liquids and that a change 'may be the next big announcement' concerning the department's review of TSA policies. The statement comes on the heels of several other recent changes to TSA policies. For example, the department recently ended the requirement for travelers to remove their shoes, enhanced perks for military members, and created a dedicated family lane at security in select airports. No indication has been given as to what new rules might replace the current rules that are in place. Currently, the TSA limits the amount of liquid that can be brought through security in hand luggage to 3.4 ounces, and Noem did not specify how things would change. Would ending the policy mean that any amount of liquids would be acceptable? Or, would it mean an increase in the limited amount? The answer is unclear at the moment, as no further details have been provided beyond the tease. It's also possible that the rules go unchanged after further review. Noem wants new technology to fuel changes. Noem said that new advances in technology will hopefully change the way we view airport security in general, by allowing the TSA to maintain a high level of safety with less detailed rules and a more streamlined process overall. 'Hopefully the future of an airport, where I'm looking to go, is that you walk in the door with your carry-on suitcase, you walk through a scanner and go right to your flight,' Noem said. 'It takes you one minute.' The TSA's 3-1-1 liquids rule was originally introduced in 2006 (check out the full timeline here). The rule was introduced in response to an unsuccessful attempt by a passenger to detonate liquid explosives on a transatlantic flight. If a change does end up coming for the liquid limits, it will cement 2025 as a new era of TSA airport security, with two of its most long-standing measures —taking off shoes and taking out liquids—going by the wayside. For now, we wait and see.

TSA introduces brand new line for traveling families
Traveling as a family can always be difficult, as parents scramble to get their toddlers through airport security. However, a new campaign might make the process easier. On Friday, the United States Department of Homeland Security announced the launch of the 'Families on the Fly' campaign, aimed at reducing the stress associated with traveling as a family. The initiative includes creating a dedicated family lane for TSA security, designed to reduce overall wait times and streamline the process. 'There will be expanded areas that will give them the benefit of recognizing that they have children with them and will help make sure that we have the ability to take care of them and their families as they go through this expedited process with their kiddos,' Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said at a press conference. The campaign will also offer a discount for families interested in using TSA PreCheck, where the cost will be $85 per person instead of $100. Under the current regulations, children under 12 are permitted in the TSA Precheck line as long as they are traveling with someone who is enrolled in the program. Children between the ages of 13 and 17 must be booked under the same flight registration as their parents/guardians who are enrolled. In addition to TSA family lanes, the campaign will also be offering a $15 discount for families looking to enroll in TSA PreCheck (Copyright 2024 The Associated Press. All rights reserved) The 'Families on the Fly' campaign is currently being implemented at the Orlando International and Charlotte-Douglas International airports, with planned expansions to John Wayne Orange County Airport and Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu. In the coming months, the initiative will also be added to Charleston International Airport, Jacksonville International Airport, T.F. Green International Airport in Rhode Island, Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in Puerto Rico, and Tampa International Airport. The news of the new TSA comes a few days after Noem revealed during a conference hosted by The Hill on Wednesday that she is questioning 'everything TSA does' and spoke of possible changes to the amount of liquids travelers can tote in their carry-on baggage. 'The liquids, I'm questioning. So that may be the next big announcement is what size your liquids need to be,' Noem said. 'We have put in place in TSA a multilayered screening process that allows us to change some of how we do security and screening so it's still as safe.' She gave no details about precisely what those changes might be or how quickly travelers could expect to see them. Under the Transportation and Security Administration's current guidance, travelers can carry liquids in travel-sized containers 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less per item in their carry-on bag. Those containers must be placed in a one-quart resealable plastic bag. Bigger containers must be placed in checked baggage, although there are exceptions for medications and baby formula.

TSA Warns All Smartphone Users—Do Not Use These Networks
Is public WiFi dangerous? Holiday season is now upon us. And as we head to airports across the U.S. and overseas, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued new warnings for all smartphone (and PC) users to stay safe and secure at airports while traveling. The first warning plays into the controversial risk of juice jacking. This is where you're tricked into plugging your phone into a public charging socket in a hotel or mall or airport. 'So, when you're at an airport do not plug your phone directly into a USB port. Bring your TSA-compliant power brick or battery pack and plug in there.' TSA's second warning plays into the even more controversial risk of public WiFi. Nothing irritates cybersecurity professionals more than blanket warnings about public WiFi, given that most traffic to and from your smartphone is now encrypted. But TSA has warned smartphone users nonetheless. 'Don't use free public WiFi,' it says as one of its 'two best tips for staying cyber safe at airports while you're traveling.' That means do not connect to free airport networks as most of us do. This is especially true, it adds, 'if you're planning to make any online purchases,' and also warns 'do not ever enter any sensitive info while using unsecured WiFi.' So, is this right? In general, public WiFi is fine — and that includes airport WiFi. As the FTC says 'because of the widespread use of encryption, connecting through a public Wi-Fi network is usually safe.' But be sure to follow those golden rules when connecting: The mobile security specialists at Zimperium have just issued their own public WiFi warning for smartphone users 'especially during travel when vigilance is low.' With free public-WiFi everywhere,' they say, 'attackers know exactly how to strike.' Zimperium says smartphone settings should be changed to 'block connections to public unsecured WiFi,' with 'over 5 Million Public Unsecured Global Wi-Fi networks found since beginning of 2025, with 33% of users connecting to public unsecured networks.' Echoing TSA's warning, the team says 'during travel, these risks multiply.' And it's not just airports. 'Hotels, ride-share hubs, and cafés all offer rich hunting grounds for attackers.' It's worse overseas, but 'major U.S. cities like Los Angeles, New York, Portland, Miami, and Seattle are seeing increased mobile malware activity.'
