Traveling Fast Through Security More people travel in the summer than any other season. For some it will be their first time on an airplane. But even if you’re a seasoned traveler it’s good to know the rules in order to go through airport security without any delays. Here are some tips given by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to help speed up the line and wait. Dressing the Part There’s no particular style or type of clothing that you should wear from a security point of view. You are permitted to wear head coverings and religious garments during the screening process. You may be directed to additional screening if your clothing (religious or otherwise) is loose fitting or large enough to hide prohibited items. In addition, certain clothing and accessories can set off an alarm on the metal detector and slow you down. Avoid wearing clothing, jewelry or other accessories that contain metal when traveling through the security checkpoints: * Heavy jewelry (including pins, necklaces, bracelets, rings, watches, earrings, body piercings, cuff links, lanyards or bolo ties. * Clothing with metal buttons, snaps or studs * Metal hair barrettes or other hair decoration * Belt buckles * Under-wire bras * Hidden items such as body piercings may result in your being directed to additional screening for a pat-down inspection. If selected for additional screening, you may ask to remove your body piercing in private as an alternative to the pat-down search. ...More Recent Articles |
