hi, everyone. welcome to "on the money." i'm becky quick. the summer travel season is here but there are new tsa rules that could make getting from here to there even harder. downsizing or dealing with an estate. the company that does everything for you and gets cash for everything but the house. new rules to protect you if you're saving for retirement. how it works and what it means and how it could save you money. and if getting out of your hotel bed and making your way all the way to the gym is too much for you, check this out. a different kind of room service. "on the money" starts right now. this is "on the money," your money, your life, your future. now, becky quick. >> we begin with the summer travel season. it's heating up and there are big changes in airport security. the tsa

procedures. they will look at your carry-on and there are checkpoint changes. >> reporter: if you're one of those people cramming as much as you can into your carry-on bags, gets ready to unpack. the tsa is testing a new strategy having travelers put all electronics larger than a cell phone in a separate bin, which includes ipads and tablets and e-readers. the idea is to make it easier to catch potential problems in bulging carry-ones. >> you have to weed through multiple things in there. the more organics in there, the slower the process is going to become. >> initially, the new procedures will be tested at ten airports, including l.a.x. and boston logan. that change comes as the department of homeland security also considers expanding a ban on passengers carrying laptop computers onto international flights due to
7:32 am
use laptops to trigger a bomb mid-flight. >> there's numerous threats against aviation. that's really the thing that they are obsessed with, the terrorists. the idea of knocking down an airplane in flight, particularly if it's a u.s. carrier, particularly if it's full of mostly u.s. folks. >> reporter: there's already a laptop ban for flights from some airports in the middle east. since it went into effect, emirates airways, the largest airline in the middle east, has cut some trips to the u.s. due to less travelers. for now, many believe tighter security or an expanded laptop ban will not prompt people to skip overseas trips. >> reporter: so far, travelers are adjusting to the new reality which could include longer lines
7:33 am
>> i don't think it will make lines longer necessarily. once people get accustomed to that being part of the process, just as your shoes having to be removed and that kind of thing, i people will get accustomed to it and it will change. >> they're horrible. they're like an hour long sometimes, from here, down the stairs and to the side and people going from level to level. >> it's a chore to go through it. it's probably the worst part of the experience and a lot of us have tried to do pre-check so we don't have to do that. >> reporter: while travelers may not care for the hassle that goes along with security in the airport or on a plane, most are willing to put up with it in order to get away. in fact, this summer, a record number of people are expected to fly due to a stronger economy and airfares that are about 8% lower than this time last year. phil lebeau, "on the money," chicago. >> so what will these new rules mean for your trip and are more changes ahead? mike boyd is a
7:34 am
consultant. mike, it's great to see you today. thank you for being here. >> my honor. thank you. >> just when we thought it couldn't be more of a hassle, are these necessary rules and should they be taking place? >> well, i have no problem with it, separating things so they can see it better. that's going to speed things up, not slow things down. but where i'm really concerned is why would you announce the airports where you're increasing security? why not send a memo to al qaeda while you're at it. i think these are the sorts of things that do show that we are more concerned about things and i think clearly they are looking at airports that don't look at things as closely as we do. >> you mean, instead of the ten airports where these are taking place, random and rolling checks that take place from time to time so be prepared? >> yeah. just say we're going to have higher security in some places. you may have to separate some of your things and keep the electronics separate. that's a very simple thing to do but to say we're doing it in los angeles, for the terrorists, that's a good pla
7:35 am
>> right. >> but overall, this is a positive move, to be very blunt with you. >> in terms of laptops being banned, i know they will be banned on international flights mostly from the middle east but homeland security has been considering expanding that to 71 airports. do you think that that will happen this summer? could laptops be banned on all flights eventually? >> i would hope not. that will change the makeup of the air transportation as travel. i need my laptop to go with me. it's part of my communication network. if i can't take it -- i used to handle luggage. i don't want other people handling it. we need to have that so we need to make sure we keep the communication channels open. >> we spoke with a ceo of an airline recently who pointed out it's not a great idea to have all of these laptops in the hold underneath either. if people are just checking their bags. you don't want them stored in a single place because the risk of the batteri
7:36 am
place could be an issue, too. this may be a rolling issue to try and deal with. >> it could be. the lithium batteries as far as having a communication tool with you that you need, when you get somewhere, if we take that away, you're going to see domestic air travel drop. there's no question about it. it would happen. i don't think we're going to get to that. but if they do, that's what we'll see. >> travelers can spend $8500, $100 for tsa precheck and kbloeb balanc global entry. are the fast lines still the fast lines? >> well, i think -- yes and yes. i mean, the precheck is what we used to have before 9/11 and it has sped -- i think it has made things move faster at big airports, even if you have a big line, it moves quickly. to be honest, the people in the blue shirts at hai
7:37 am
get you through there. >> airport travel is up 4% but prices are down 8%. you add up lower prices, more demand, does that mean it's going to be a difficult travel season for anybody trying to do this as a consumer? >> it shouldn't be. the capacity will be up 4% and that will be filled. it's not a huge amount. the difference in the summertime and the mix of travelers is different at some airports. you know, more kids, more strollers, more people that don't know you can't bring a swiss army knife with you. there's a little of that. >> i got caught trying to bring a chocolate swiss knife back in. i swear it's just chocolate. thank you for joining me. >> my honor. thank you. up next on "on the money," the one-stop shopping for selling your stuff. and later, does your retirement adviser put your interests first? what a new federal rule means for you. right now, though, take a look at how the stock market ended the week.
