Cheat Sheet
- Master the 3-1-1 liquids rule - Remember, containers must be 3.4 ounces (100 mL) or less and all fit in one clear, quart-sized bag. Pack beforehand so you can splash through security without a hitch!
- Know what's banned and what's boardable - From fireworks to funky knives, some items can't hitch a ride in your carry-on while others may chill in checked bags under the right conditions. Use this tool before you zip up your suitcase to avoid drama at the scanner.
- Get your checkpoint game plan - Have your ID and boarding pass ready, peel off shoes and belts if needed, and slide larger electronics into their own bin. These simple steps are your ticket to a faster, smoother screening adventure.
- Electronics etiquette at security - Laptops, tablets, and e-readers should be easy to grab for a separate scan, and don't forget to charge them - officers might ask you to power them on. Staying prepared keeps your gadgets and your boarding time charged up!
- Bring the right ID - If you're 18 or older, a valid U.S. federal or state photo ID is your golden pass through security. No ID? You might still fly, but expect extra questions and a friendly, extended chat at the checkpoint.
- Stay savvy with security tech updates - Airports are rolling out self-screening lanes and futuristic scanners that might let you keep more items in your bag. Knowing these innovations can make you feel like a security superstar.
- Pet pals at the checkpoint - Take your furry friend out of the carrier and carry them through the metal detector while the empty box gets its own inspection. This ensures your travel buddy stays safe and you stay smiling.
- Declare medically necessary liquids - Got extra eye drops or special meds? You're allowed larger quantities, but you must tell the officers before they spot-check them. This simple step keeps you healthy and your boarding stress-free.
- Keep up with changing rules - Security protocols evolve, and new scanners may let you keep liquids and laptops in your bag. Being in the know transforms surprises into self-assured nods.
- Double-check with the TSA - When in doubt, the TSA website and "What Can I Bring?" tool are your best travel buddies. A quick online check can save you time and hiccups at the airport.
