The Takeaway

US President Donald Trump's comments on the Iran situation led to a significant drop in oil prices, with Brent crude futures settling 5.85 percent lower at $92.57 a barrel. This followed his dismissal of the possibility of renewed strikes on Iran, causing oil prices to hit their lowest since late August. Meanwhile, in the UK, retail sales grew by 1.5 percent year-on-year, as British consumers showed restraint in their spending ahead of Black Friday.

In other news, the Board of Control for Cricket in India is considering expanding the Indian Premier League by adding new franchises, with cities like Pune and Vadodara potentially getting billion-dollar teams. Additionally, Allegiant Travel Company director Linda Marvin sold 2,000 shares of the company's common stock, resulting in a transaction worth $194,330. These developments are separate from the oil price movements, which are linked to President Trump's comments on Iran.

The safety reason TSA might ask you to turn on your phone

While traveling through the airport, TSA may ask you to power up your phone. Border agents can conduct a more thorough search as well.

·engadget.com

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has a longstanding rule that requires travelers entering the United States from overseas to turn on their electronic devices, including smartphones, before boarding a flight. Although this requirement has been in place since 2014, many people may not be aware of it. The primary reason for this rule is safety, as phones can potentially be used as detonators, jamming devices, or to store bomb components.

If the device does not power on, the TSA agent may subject the traveler to additional screening. This is to ensure that the device is functioning properly and has not been tampered with for malicious purposes.
