  • To reduce the possibility 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 agent.
  • You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be removed for X-ray scanning.
  • Put any personal items (e.g, wallet, keys and phone) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during screening.
  • If you want to take food on the plane with you, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
