It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so be sure to check before you lock in your flight. Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to lower your mask temporarily for identification purposes. Do not hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should place the pass on the reader and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it. TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will have to be removed from your bag for X-ray screening. Put any personal items (like your phone and wallet) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during the screening process. If you're bringing food on the plane with you, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
