• When you pass through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to briefly lower it to verify your identity. Travellers who refuse to wear a face mask may be fined and denied entry.
• To minimize the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer.
• You’re permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. This will need to be taken out for screening.
• To minimize handling during screening, place items such as your keys, wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
• Separate any food you’re carrying for screening. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings.
