  • Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to temporarily lower your mask to verify your identity.
  • Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it directly on the reader yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
  • You're permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. You'll need to remove it for screening.
  • Put any personal items (phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
