Did you know, starting June 30, foreign airports will be examining your carry-on bags more carefully? Why? Powder.
A new TSA regulation will ask that travelers headed to the U.S. from another country remove powdered substances from their bags to be carefully checked, as agents currently do with liquids, and be prepared to either discard the powder or check their bag.
The reason, of course, is the fear of improvised explosive devices, which can sometimes involve powdery substances.
To avoid extra scrutiny, anyone traveling with more than 12 ounces of powder, which could include makeup, baby-related products, food, and other substances, should put the powder in a checked bag.
