  • Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to adjust your mask to verify your identity.
  • To reduce the possibility of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer.
  • You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. This will need to be removed for screening.
  • To reduce handling during screening, place items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on instead of the bins.
  • If you're bringing food through the screening checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
