Airport Security & Travel Tips

This information is reprinted from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) website at  www.tsa.gov. This government website has up-to-date information on all of the new security measures for air travelers.  
 
The Transportation Security Administration has introduced new passenger checkpoint screening procedures to increase our ability to identify explosives and potential threats to aviation security. These include increased use of explosives trace detection machines, expanded pat-down searches and greater discretion for screeners to refer individuals for additional screening.

TSA Recommendations

TSA would like to help you get through the security checkpoint quickly and have a safe flight to your destination. Our Transportation Security Officers will be working around the clock to provide an efficient security process. We're asking you to become an active partner in your security experience by knowing the rules and carefully packing your carry-on bags. READ THE FULL LIST OF RECOMENDATIONS AT THE TSA WEBSITE...

Make Your Trip Better Using 3-1-1

( Please check the TSA website for updates and current information - www.tsa.gov )

• 3-1-1 for carry-ons = 3 ounce bottle or less (by volume) ; 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. One-quart bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring. 3 oz. container size is a security measure.
• Consolidate bottles into one bag and X-ray separately to speed screening.
• Be prepared. Each time TSA searches a carry-on it slows down the line. Practicing 3-1-1 will ensure a faster and easier checkpoint experience.
• 3-1-1 is for short trips. If in doubt, put your liquids in checked luggage.
• Declare larger liquids. Medications, baby formula and food, breast milk, and juice are allowed in reasonable quantities exceeding three ounces and are not required to be in the zip-top bag. Declare these items for inspection at the checkpoint.
• Come early and be patient. Heavy travel volumes and the enhanced security process may mean longer lines at security checkpoints.
• TSA working with our partners. TSA works with airlines and airports to anticipate peak traffic and be ready for the traveling public.
