New TSA Rule: You Must Unpack Your Cat Before Security Check

According to new TSA rules announced on Wednesday, travelers must now remove cats weighing more than 5 ounces from suitcases and carry-ons before going through security.  This is a departure for the TSA from its recent decision to relax many airport security rules.  Last month, for example, the organization announced that aircraft passengers would be allowed to use approved cats in flight once indicated by the pilot.  

“It’s already bad enough we have to take off our shoes, our coats, our hats, remove out laptops – but now cats? It’s an outrage.  Security lines will take forever,” complained one frequent traveler after being informed of the policy change.  

An TSA spokesperson says that all of their rules are made with passenger safety in mind.
