TSA’s Travel Tips

Before you go...
Visit www.tsa.gov for all the latest security policies.

Pack liquids/gels/aerosols in your checked baggage.

You are permitted to carry-on 1 quart-size,clear plastic, zip-top bag holding 3 ounces or less
containers of liquids, gels or aerosols. Limited to one bag per traveler.

Exceptions include: baby formula/breast milk/baby food while traveling with a small child, medications, liquids
(to include water, juice or liquid nutrients) or gels for diabetics or other medical needs.
All exceptions must be declared to the Security Officer for screening.

All footwear must be removed for X-ray screening. Wearing footwear that can be
easily removed helps.

Pack valuables such as jewelry, cash and electronics, as well as fragile items, in your carry-on. This will speed
the screening process.

Avoid wearing accessories that contain metal, which will set off the metal detector.

Put all undeveloped film in your carryon bag, because checked baggage screening equipment may damage film.

If carrying a firearm, please check with your airline for appropriate procedures.

Leave lighters at home. TSA collects thousands of lighters a day.

When you arrive...
Take your quart-size plastic zip-top bag out of your carry-on and place separately in bin.

Declare all permitted liquid exceptions to the Security Officer in front of the checkpoint.

Take your laptop and video cameras with cassettes out of their cases for screening.

Remove your outer coat, suit coat, jacket or blazer to place in bin for X-ray.

Place the following items in your carryon before entering the screening checkpoint: cell phones and personal data assistants, keys, loose change, jewelry and large metal items.
