You might be doing this and not even realize. If you're traveling this summer you should rethink putting these things in a TSA bin.
According to travel experts, here are the items you should never place in a TSA bin:
1. Wallets and cash - Take all your cash and put it in your wallet. And then put your wallet inside a bag - If your loose cash is lost inside a TSA machine, the government will not return it.
2. Passport or ID - It's the same with your wallet. Just put it safely in a bag.
3. Your phone - Apparently, TSA lines are the #1 place for stolen smartphones.
4. Watches and jewelry - (So basically, anything small and valuable.)
5. Headphones, glasses, and neck pillows - it's because the TSA bins are loaded with germs, and those items are about to touch your face.
I will definitely be rethinking what I put in the bin and what I put in a bag in the bin.
