  • Requirements state that you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
  • Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it straight on the reader yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
  • TSA is now allowing passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will have to be removed from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
  • Empty everything from your pockets, such as your phone, keys and wallet, and put them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
  • If you want to take food on the plane, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
