There is a new TSA regulation: You have to take out all electronic devices including cabling out of your carry-on luggage. I´m in New York at the end of this month.

I just flew out of SFO last night. Delayed 3 hrs so plan on delays. They are everywhere in the US. My carry-on was jammed with cables, chargers, camera etc. They did look twice at the bag through x-ray - it went through. Good luck and happy traveling - gotta keep a positive attitude cause it can really suck.
