Bad news for travelers flying to the US: The TSA - the United States Transportation Security Administration - has announced that it will begin banning the sending of new equipment in the large suitcase that is sent in the belly of the plane.

According to a report on News 12, from now on, in addition to dangerous objects or portable cargo that may catch fire, it will also not be possible to send gas-powered hair straighteners into the cabin of the plane.

A suitcase found to contain hair straighteners of this type will be confiscated during the screening phase that takes place after the suitcase is sent to the check-in counter.

However, if the hair straighteners are packed properly, they can be taken into the cabin.

The reason: They can catch fire in the belly of the plane. For the same reason, portable cargo, for example, cannot be sent into the belly of the plane.

By the way, if it's a hair straightener that plugs into electricity - there's no problem sending it.

However, they recently stopped the safety procedure at US airports, in which passengers were required to remove their shoes during security screening.
