Maybe it's the right thread to ask:
We will be flying from Europe to Central America in a few months.
On the flight there, we have s stop in Houston Texas.
Do I need to worry just about the transit?

If I would actually need to go the USA at the moment, I would have a completely empty smartphone and laptop.
But do I need to worry about the transit?

Edit: obviously I don't plan to do anything illegal, I'm just a tourist. But after all the stories, I'm getting a bit worried

If you are asking the question, why don't you just change your booking? I guess you have some value to offset even the hint of a threat?

Because I can't cancel it or change it - only in case of sickness, as far as I know

And I just booked it yesterday, before I saw this thread and thought about it.

I'm currently going through my options...
