Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's not often I'm talking toothbrushes when doing reports from logan.

Speaker 3 (00:04):
Not an issue for me, but this is.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
An important reminder for all you travelers out there.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
At TSA has new guidance about any sort of rechargeable
lithium ion battery based electric toothbrush that needs to be
stored in your carry on, not your check luggage.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
If something does catch fire, nobody's gonna know about it,
and it'll be a little too late.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Claire, who's flying to Dallas, has it right on the head.
That's the reasoning for the updated guidance. Her sister Diane
is with him, also telling me that carry on bags
are their main focus no matter where they're going, especially.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
Now with every airline charging for check bags.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
If you have a toothbrush powered by alkaline batteries like
your standard triple or double a's, you're okay to check that.
But for everything else that's chargeable, make sure it's in
that carry on from Terminal B.
