  • Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to temporarily lower your mask to verify your identity.
  • Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for screening.
  • Put any personal items (e.g, wallet, keys and phone) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
  • If you're taking food through the security checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
