For US travel are Wireless mice banned?
My mother recently traveled to visit and had mentioned that wireless mice are recently banned from air travel? Also, is there a reason why?
Is that a flight policy or just a TSA standard?
Best Answer
There are no laws against bringing a wireless mouse on an airplane. This was probably an individual screener who was having a bad day.

I believe it is actually an FAA restriction. You cannot have any transmitting devices operating on board of an airplane, that includes wireless mice and bluetooth headsets.

This is of course an in-flight restriction. It says nothing about actually currying the mouse in your baggage without using it. For some reason it wasn't clear to everyone.
