With the busy summer travel season underway, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is warning globetrotters about the dangers of using USB

As we approach the summer travel season on the calendar, one former TSA agent has a pretty important warning that all travelers should pay attention to. A former TSA agent by the name of Harmony now has a new career as a travel creator, posting various pieces of travel advice online on social media under the name travelwiththeharmony.

“Hackers can install malware at USB ports (we’ve been told that’s called ‘juice/port jacking’),” the TSA wrote on Facebook. “So, when you’re at an airport do not plug your phone directly into a USB port. Bring your TSA-compliant power brick or battery pack and plug in there.”

Ellen Pompeo recently experienced an unexpected airport mishap that taught her a surprising lesson about in-flight snacks. Recently, in a new interview, the Grey’s Anatomy star, 55, revealed she was stopped by TSA agents back in March over what appeared to be a harmless bag of sunflower seeds.

"Grey's Anatomy" star Ellen Pompeo was held and detained by TSA officials and had the bomb squad called on her for bringing sunflower seeds on a flight.
