  • To reduce the potential of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer.
  • You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. This will need to be removed for screening.
  • Put any personal items (like your phone and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
  • Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
