New TSA screening procedures will take full effect at airports around the country on Saturday.

Travelers must go through more enhanced screening for carry-on items.

The procedures have been phased in over the past few months in an effort to raise the baseline for airplane security.

Passengers are already required to remove electronic devices larger than a cell phone like laptops, tablets, and game consoles. But under the new procedure, those have to go into a separate bin.

You might also have to separate other items from bags like food, powders, and anything that could obstruct the views from the X-Ray machine like a cluttered bag.

There may be minimal changes to what passengers can bring through TSA checkpoints with food and items that comply with the 3-1-1 rule for liquids.

The new measures do not apply to travelers enrolled in TSA Pre-check.
