Yes, a phone charger can go in your cabin bag, but power banks and loose lithium battery packs need extra care in flight. If you mean a wall plug and a charging cable, you’re fine.

Yes, in the United States, you can still get a passport without a standard birth certificate. The catch is simple: you still need to prove U.S. citizenship with another accepted record, or with a package of

Yes, SENTRI can speed airport screening and some U.S. arrivals, but only when your PASSID is attached and the airport setup matches. If you’re asking whether SENTRI works at airports, the answer is yes, but not for every airport line. SENTRI was built for faster entry at the southern land border. At airports, it usually
