Disney4me Posted June 24, 2025 Report Posted June 24, 2025 Attention summer travelers: The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has a new flight warning for the summer travel season. ©Getty Images We’ve all been there: You’re sitting at the airport, phone battery draining as you wait to board your plane, and decide to pop your charger into one of the handy USB ports while scattered near the gate and start streaming Netflix on the airport’s Wi-Fi. However, as the TSA warns, you might want to think twice. DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. Earlier this year, the TSA shared their “two best tips for staying cyber safe at airports while you’re traveling” on Facebook. First off, they discussed the dangers of using those ubiquitous USB ports. According to the agency, “Hackers can install malware at USB ports (we’ve been told that’s called ‘juice/port jacking’). So, when you’re at an airport, do not plug your phone directly into a USB port.” USB Ports Instead, the TSA advises bringing a “TSA-compliant” power strip to plug into an electrical outlet or using an external power brick/battery pack. We own one! The agency was even more blunt in its warning about using public Wi-Fi, writing, “Don’t use free public WiFi, especially if you’re planning to make any online purchases. Do not ever enter any sensitive info while using unsecure WiFi.” ©TSA If you’re heading off on a vacation this summer, be sure to keep these TSA warnings in mind during your time at the airport.
