The Securing Carry-On Baggage Act, H.R. 2870

A Bill submitted by Rep. Daniel Lipinski (D-IL) a member of the United States House of Representatives seeks to enforce and standardize the maximum size of all carry-on bags bringing the US more in line with what is already happening in the rest of the world. The bill would require that these restrictions be enforced at screening locations through the use of a template. The proposed bill would allow items 22 inches by 18 inches by 10 inches or smaller in the aircraft cabin. The bill also requires that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) install and utilize a template with depth and width limitations that would prevent items that exceed the prescribed dimensions from passing through the conveyor belt. The revised guidelines will expedite the security screening and boarding processes and ultimately result in fewer delays.
