This is the No. 1 item stolen at airport security checkpoints and how you can protect it

Airport security bins present a theft risk for smartphones and electronics. Passengers are advised to keep phones zipped inside bags during security checks. This simple habit prevents items from being easily targeted by opportunistic thieves. Many items are also forgotten at checkpoints, leading to significant losses. Travelers should always double-check their belongings before leaving the screening area.
