  • TSA now permits passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will need to be removed from your bag and presented for screening.
  • Remove personal items from your pockets, like your phone and wallet, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
  • Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings.
