TSA, with their seemingly endless budget, has created an iPhone app, called My TSA. Their description:

“My TSA” gives you 24/7 access to information that passengers frequently request from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).

“My TSA” provides real-time operating status for U.S. airports from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA); a tool to find out if an item is allowed in your carry-on or checked baggage; information on ID requirements, liquids rules, and tips for packing and dressing to speed through security.

The app simply tells travelers what they can and can not bring, "Airport Real-Time Status," and wait times at specific checkpoints across the country. The problem with the latter is that it requires passengers to load the app and tell it how long their respective wait was.

It's a free app. Give it a try if you have an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad running iOS 3.0 or later. There's also a mobile web version for those Android and Blackberry users.
