  • Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked.
  • To avoid 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 employee.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for X-ray screening.
  • Empty your personal items from your pocket, such as your wallet, keys and phone, and place them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
  • If you're planning to take food through security screening, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
