If you’re fond of bringing remote control toys onboard airplanes, things might get a little more complicated for you. While you can still carry those RC cars and ‘copters on, the TSA might put you through increased security, patting you down in the process.
As reported by USA Today: “Intelligence and law enforcement have developed information that terrorists are interested in using remote-controlled toy vehicles as part of their tactics,” TSA chief Kip Hawley said in an interview. “There were some dots that came together.”
My advice: If you’re checking bags, put the remote control vehicle or robot in the suitcase. If that’s not an option, give yourself some extra time to make it through the security line. This includes children, too. The new security policy applies to travelers of all ages.
