Before
the Airport
1. Do NOT pack or bring prohibited items
to the airport. Read the Permitted and Prohibited Items
list
(requires Acrobat Reader).
2. Refrain from taking wrapped presents
to the airport. It is generally best to either ship wrapped packages
ahead of time or wrap them on arrival. If the package sets off the
alarm, airport security will need to unwrap it to investigate the source
of the alarm.
3. Avoid wearing shoes, clothing, jewelry, and
accessories that contain metal. Metal items may set off the alarm on
the metal detector.
4. Put all undeveloped film and cameras with
film in your carry-on baggage. Checked baggage screening equipment will
damage undeveloped film.
5. Carry-on baggage is limited to one
carry-on bag plus one personal item. Personal items include laptops,
purses, small backpacks, briefcases, or camera cases. Remember, 1+1.
6. Place identification tags in and on all of your baggage.
Don't forget to label your laptop computer. These are one of the
most forgotten items at Screening Checkpoints.
At
the Airport
1. Put metal IN your carry-on bag. This
includes jewelry, loose change, keys, mobile phones, pagers, and personal
data assistants (PDAs).
2. Take OUT your laptop computer. Place it
in a bin, separate from its carrying case.
3. Take OFF your outer
coat. Place it in a bin. Suit jackets and blazers do not have to be
removed, unless requested by the
screener. |
