[At-Large] Travel tip

[Evan Leibovitch]

It can be summarized like this:

If you bring an electronic device onboard, a TSA officer may require that
you to demonstrate that you can use the device. This means that when you
get to security, either the device must already be on (as most phones are)
or can be booted in front of the officer.

So the warning is to make sure that the battery of your device is charged
before you go to security. If you are unable to start your device because
of low battery, or if the battery isn't working, the TSA will not allow the
device on the aircraft, you will have to leave it behind.

It appears they are looking for devices that look on the outside like
phones and laptops but do not function because they have ... other ...
things inside.
