Heading out of town for the holidays this year? Make sure you leave your hover boards at home. Yesterday, Travel + Leisure hosted a Twitter chat with the TSA to talk all things airport and security. Including what tech gadget is giving security the biggest headache, if wrapped presents are a no-no, and if you can bring your favorite baked pie to Christmas dinner.
Check out our recap below:
