  • Rather than handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, position it straight on the reader yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for screening.
  • To minimize handling during the screening process, put items such as your wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on instead of the bins.
  • Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA agent will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
