Airport Security Holiday Travel Tips (11/19/10)


Before arriving:

  • Prepare your 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag of liquids before arriving at the airport
  • Monitor local broadcasts for announcements of security checkpoint delays at local airports
  • Pack all your coats and jackets in your checked baggage when possible
  • Do not wrap gifts
  • Check-in online
  • Check your flight status online
  • Review TSA's Security Procedures for "Getting through the Line Faster"
  • Wear easy to remove and replace shoes
  • Plan to arrive to the airport earlier than normal

Airport arrival:

  • Approach the initial security check-point with your drivers' license/passport and paper boarding pass or electronic boarding pass in hand.
  • While waiting for the next available security screener / metal detector, remove and place in bins:
    • all metal (i.e. belt buckle, coins, eye glasses, etc.)
    • plastic, zip-top bag of liquids
    • items from your pockets, including mobile phone
    • shoes
    • laptops from bag and place in separate bin
    • coat
  • Do not engage in trash talk about security or do anything else to call attention to yourself - this will only make it worse.
  • Remember, if you are selected for an enhanced pat-down, you have the right to request it be done in private
