  • Put any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
  • Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA employee will need to open your bag for inspection.
