Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as installing a contact tracing app. Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to adjust your mask to verify your identity. To reduce the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA officer. One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for screening. Remove items from your pocket, like your wallet, phone and small change, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process. If you want to take food on the plane with you, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
