TSA Warns Wisconsin Travelers as Summer Approaches
As air travel ramps up ahead of summer, Wisconsin’s major airports have seen notable increases in passenger traffic. Dane County Regional Airport, serving Madison, recorded its second-highest year ever with 2.35 million passengers, while Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport welcomed over 6.3 million travelers—a 5% rise from the previous year.
In light of these increases, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued crucial safety warnings for airline travelers. Individuals are advised to remain vigilant even after passing through security checkpoints due to ongoing risks.
One major concern is "juice jacking," where hackers exploit compromised USB charging ports to steal data or implant malware. The TSA recommends against using these ports; instead, travelers should charge devices through TSA-compliant power bricks.
Additionally, the TSA cautioned against using public Wi-Fi for sensitive transactions, as unsecured networks can attract cybercriminals who set up fake access points to harvest personal information.
Travelers are encouraged to stay aware of their belongings, avoid unattended luggage, and maintain hygiene practices amid the bustling airport environment. As holiday plans unfold, safety and caution remain key priorities for travelers this summer.
