USB, Reading Lights Keep Travelers Out of the Dark

There are only so many times you can use your cell phone as a flashlight before it becomes ridiculous. You use it to search for car keys in your purse, to find the keyhole to your house at night, and to illuminate directions perched on your dashboard.

Whether you're catching up on your favorite reads during a night flight, or checking some e-mails on your laptop, we have portable lights that will never leave you in the dark. This way you can save your cell phone battery from an early death.

The LightWedge Mini reading light is perfect for dimly lit areas like theatres, restaurants, cars ---or anywhere you need to read on the fly. The magnification barrel provides 1.5 times magnification to help enlarge tiny print, which can cause eyestrain.

For those of us who are addicted to e-mail so much so that we are pounding away at the keyboard at 2 a.m., there is the USB light for computers. No batteries are needed for these long-life, LED lights, which illuminate your keyboard, so you don't have to keep guessing where to punch.

TSA Liquid Bottles - Featured Product

As frequent flyers and casual site-seers, we all need to stay up to speed with the latest TSA regulations.

To make life easier, here's the 411 on the TSA's 3-1-1 rule.

The reigning rules for TSA liquid carry-ons:

• 3 ounces or less (by volume) for liquid and gels. The small container size is for security.
• 1 quart-sized clear, plastic zip-top bag. This limits the total liquid volume each passenger can bring on to the plane.
• 1 bag per passenger should be placed in the screening bin. Isolating the liquids in one place helps with the screening process.

Keep in mind that larger amounts of liquids can be stored in checked luggage. Practicing the 3-1-1 rule for short trips helps ensure a faster, easier screening experience.

TSA Locks Offer Sound Security Amid Restrictions

Increased airport restrictions have many travelers leaving checked luggage unlocked and vulnerable.

According to the U.S. Transportation Security Administration, passengers must refrain from locking checked baggage. Baggage that alarms screeners and is secured with a non-recognized lock may be cut off, so the luggage can be searched.

There is a way to keep your luggage locked, so that screeners still have access for security purposes. TSA locks are recognized and accepted by TSA screeners who use a secured access device to open the lock without destroying it.

Why it works...

• TSA agents are trained to recognize the Travel Sentry Certified Logo, so they do not break the locks
• The lock's SearchAlert security window changes from Green to Red when the TSA secured access device is used to open it. You can also reset the window back to green with your personal combination.
• The locks are backed by a LIFETIME Guarantee by Tamperseal.com

Luggage Tags Help You Spot Your Bag
