TSA bans gas-powered curling irons and flat irons from checked luggage to prevent fire risks.

The TSA has updated its rules, banning cordless curling irons and flat irons powered by gas or butane from checked luggage. These items are allowed in carry-on bags if they have a safety cover, but spare cartridges are not permitted. This aims to prevent potential fire hazards. Other banned items in checked luggage include explosives, flammable materials, and certain lithium batteries. Passengers can check the TSA's "What Can I Bring?" tool for more details.
