  • Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to temporarily lower your mask for ID purposes.
  • Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
  • 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 at the X-ray machine for scanning.
  • Remove items from your pockets, like your keys, phone and wallet, and place them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
