Air Travel Security Tip
Tip written by: Infraspection Institute
Air travel is a job requirement for many thermographers. In this Tip, we offer suggestions for helping to reduce delays when passing trough airport security.
Air travelers can greatly affect their experience at the airport security checkpoints by preparing in advance. This includes: packing liquids, gels and aerosols in checked baggage whenever possible, using 3-1-1 for carry-ons, arriving early and ensuring they are not traveling with prohibited items.
For individuals who must carry liquids, gels and aerosols through the security checkpoint, it’s as easy as 3-1-1.
- All liquids, gels and aerosols must be placed in a 3 ounce or smaller container.
- These containers must be placed in a 1 quart, clear, plastic, zip-top bag.
- 1 bag per passenger placed in a plastic bin for screening.
Below are other tips travelers should know before they leave home this holiday season…
Pack smart. Bringing prohibited items to the airport will delay the screening process for you and other passengers. If you’re not sure which items are allowed, check TSA website for a complete list.
Arrive on time. Arrival time recommendations vary by airline and day of travel, so check with your carrier. You must have a boarding pass and valid government photo ID to enter the security checkpoint. Remember to give yourself adequate time to check your baggage and move through security.
Dress the part. Metal in your clothing may set off the walk-through metal detector. Pack coins, keys, jewelry, belt buckles and other metal items in your carry-on bag. Remember that all shoes must be removed and screened by TSA. Passengers also need to remove blazers, suit coats and bulky sweaters in addition to outer garments.
Think. Belligerent behavior, inappropriate jokes and threats will not be tolerated. Such incidents will result in delays and possibly missing your flight.
