After a passenger was spotted projecting a movie onto the overhead bins, The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) decided to make the travel faux pas a teachable moment.
“Not reel-ly sure how to travel with your electronic devices?” the TSA wrote in an Instagram post showing the newfound inflight entertainment. “Don’t lose your cool-ing system. We’ll focus on everything you need to get through disc."
The TSA assured travelers they can bring large electronic devices with them in a carry-on bag, but warned they may require additional screening. Travelers should always take any device larger than a cell phone out of their bag for screening and place it in a separate bin.

The reminder comes after a passenger was caught projecting the Mel Gibson movie «The Patriot» onto the overhead bins of a plane — with captions — which the TSA then shared on social media.
“I've flown on more than 800 flights to 147 countries and never seen anything like it," Douglas Lazic-Kirk, who posted the original video online, told ABC7. Lazic-Kirk added the offender had three seats to himself and just «put it on to watch.»
The brazen incident prompted the TSA to remind travelers there’s a simple way to check what they can and can’t bring on board with the agency’s “What Can I Bring?” website, which includes a searchable list of both allowed and prohibited items. Additionally, travelers can ask the TSA about any specific concerns by submitting questions to “@AskTSA” on Twitter, Facebook Messenger, and Apple Business Chat.
Of course, this isn’t the first time travelers have tried to bring something odd onto a plane. Last
