  • You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. You'll need to remove it for X-ray scanning.
  • Empty your personal items from your pocket, like your wallet, coins and keys, and place them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
  • If you're bringing food on board, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
