How is the Airport Security now on International Travel?

I will be traveling to Philippines on January..

Can I bring my laptop, cellphone, Ipod, or Portable DVD player with me as a handcarry?

I just heard in the recent that they have tightened the security that you cannot even bring water to the plane..

Whoa!! What else do they want us to do? Be naked in the flight, or wear some kind a suit that they provide for security purpose.

Please let me know.. I don't want my Electronic device to be confiscated and be put in for check in baggage.

Alse please let me know what or not to bring on my handcarry luggage..

Any Experience?

    I think they have relaxed security now compared to last month when the UK bomb threat was going on. Check out TSA's website...They have very clear explanations on what to carry in handbaggage and what not.

    I just came back from the Philippines and the security is very tight and they will search everything you bring on the plane. You can not bring liquids or gels in with you except for some medications, but you can buy them in the airport now and take them on the plane.

    If you have never been to the Philippines be prepared to see many heavily armed guards where ever you go. You get used to it soon enough. In the airport they will pat you down.

    There's no problem with electronics, but my experience has been that if you do have electronics, they will go through all of your stuff. I recently came back from Europe, and they searched everyone's carry-on bag before boarding the plane. If you have things like electronic devices, it will of course take longer but there is no problem bringing into the cabin. They will not be confiscated. But, if you want to save yourself some trouble, put everything that you can live without in your checked baggage. Also, they have been doing pat-downs on all passengers immediately before boarding as well.

    From all UK airports you can not take any liquids (including liquid make-up), as well as lighters through security. Once you are in duty free you are welcome to buy anything and take that on board (except for lighters, including matches). When you are traveling to the USA you are not even allowed to take liquids bought at Duty Free on the plane!

    They do not have a problem with electronics.

    Just traveled from Gatwick, and that is what I was told there.

    Hope I could help!!

    It's ok to bring with you all those stuff provided you enumerate them all. Because if not properly enumerated, I am 100% sure that the airport authority will confiscate them.

    Have a nice trip and hope you will enjoy your stay here. Ingat!
