TSA offers 10 Travel Tips for Smooth Screening<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Passengers Continue to Bring Literally Tons of Prohibited Items to Checkpoints\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA)<\/strong> continues to be ready for the increase in travel volume close to or exceeding pre-pandemic levels at airports across the country. And those passengers are bringing literally tons of prohibited items<\/a> to the checkpoints<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cWe are ensuring the security of travelers with a robust workforce and new technologies<\/strong> within the checkpoint that enhance security, reduce physical contact and improve the traveling experience,\u201d said TSA Spokesperson Sari Koshetz<\/strong>. \u201cWe ask travelers to bring their patience during these busy times, but leave their prohibited items at home!<\/a><\/strong>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0An item appearing more often in passengers\u2019 bags are lighters which are cast as a metal gun and if brandished inside the aircraft cabin could appear to be one of the small guns on the market which can discharge ammunition. The replica guns<\/strong>, therefore, require a response which includes pulling the bag to remove the lighters<\/strong> which are not permitted on the plane.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFirearms<\/strong> <\/a>brought to the checkpoints continue to be a problem across the country,\u201d said Koshetz, \u201cwith passengers facing sizable fines from the TSA and possibly heading to jail instead of their desired destination\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hundreds of pounds of prohibited items every month<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Other prohibited items<\/strong><\/a> brought to checkpoints add up to hundreds of pounds a year at smaller airports to as much as 2,000 pounds or a ton, literally, of prohibited items every month<\/a> at the largest airports.\u00a0 Knives<\/a>, martial arts items, large tools are among the most common. And every time one of our officers has to pull that bag aside to remove the items that could be used as a threat against a fellow passenger, that slows down the line for you and everyone behind you. \u201cIf you wouldn\u2019t want the person sitting next to you to have a similar knife, hatchet or ax, then you should leave it at home,\u201d added Koshetz.<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0mask requirement<\/a>\u00a0remains in place and TSA will continue to assess the duration of the requirement in consultation with the CDC.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Follow the 3-1-1 rule<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Liquids, gels and aerosols are limited to 3.4 ounces or less in carry-on baggage. There is an exception for hand sanitizer, which has a temporary 12-ounce limit. The general definition for this rule is that if you can spill it, spread it, spray it, pump it or pour it, then the carry-on quantity is limited to 3.4 ounces each placed in one quart-sized bag, with one bag permitted per passenger. <\/span>Follow the 3-1-1 rule.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Pack food in a clear plastic bag<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

If you plan to travel with food, it is a best practice to pack your food items in a clear plastic bag<\/a><\/strong> and place that clear plastic bag into your carry-on bag. When you get to the security checkpoint, remove and place the clear bag containing your food into the bin to reduce the opportunity for cross-contamination between the food and bins.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"TSA\u00a0packing<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Leave prohibited items at home<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

To reduce the likelihood of physical contact with TSA officers at the checkpoint<\/a>, be familiar with the TSA prohibited items list<\/a> for carry-on bags. Travelers can check for prohibited items by using the \u201cWhat Can I Bring?\u201d<\/a>\u00a0page on\u00a0TSA.gov\u00a0and by downloading the free\u00a0MyTSA app<\/a>, which has a helpful \u201cWhat Can I Bring?\u201d feature.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Do not bring your firearm to a security checkpoint<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Airline passengers can fly with firearms only in checked baggage<\/strong>. All\u00a0firearms must be properly packed and declared<\/a>\u00a0with your airline at check-in. Contact your airline for additional guidance. Firearms at TSA checkpoints<\/strong><\/a> represent an unnecessary risk and an expensive mistake.\u00a0 (And the gun lighters are not permitted even in your checked bag as they are flammable<\/strong><\/a>.)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Give yourself plenty of time<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Travel volumes are expected to be higher than they have been and some passengers may be traveling for the first time in quite a while<\/strong>. Extra time may be needed for parking or returning rental cars, at airline check-in counters, and at the security checkpoint<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Empty your pockets when you get to the checkpoint<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

– or better yet before – \u00a0Place items inside your carry-on bag<\/strong> instead of into a bin to reduce touchpoints and so that you do not leave anything behind.<\/span><\/p>\n

Listen for guidance from TSA officers<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

They may be providing information on new technologies<\/a> that help reduce touchpoints and make for a more streamlined and convenient passenger experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Contact TSA with your questions\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Tweet your questions and comments<\/a> to @AskTSA or via Facebook Messenger, weekdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST. You can also call the TSA Contact Center at 866-289-9673 from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. EST or 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends and holidays.<\/span><\/p>\n
