Question by danglesmcnasty: Do digital cameras and memory cards need to be removed from carry on luggage, and placed in a bin?
It says on the TSA website “Laptop computers and video cameras with cassettes must be removed from their carrying cases and placed in one of the bins provided.” Do I need to do the same with my digital camera (and memory cards) or can I just leave them in my bag?

Thanks!

You can leave your camera and memory cards in your bag. I travel numerous times a year and have never had my camera out for inspection through security.

don’t remove the memory card. it may get lost in the shuffle. leave the camera in the case. just place it in the bin. the xray will see what it is.
