  • Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to lower your mask temporarily for identification purposes.
  • You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
  • TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will need to be removed from your bag for X-ray screening.
  • Place any personal items (like your phone and wallet) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
  • Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA officer will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
