5 Travel Tips to Better Navigate TSA Security Rules
We’ve booked our favorite Corporate Transportation company (KSTG!) to take us to the airport. Now, let’s review these 5 travel tips to better navigate TSA security rules.
1. Download the My TSA App
The MyTSA app is designed to help you navigate busy security lanes. This is valuable because some terminals could have 30-minute waits or longer while other terminals may have no wait at all. While some websites will promote flying during slower periods, I think we can agree that often, when you travel is simply dictated by when you have to get somewhere.
2. No Sequins
Did you know that sequins are more likely to light up the TSA scanners? They often show up more often when going through the scanner, often causing you to receive a more thorough pat down. Obviously, the goal is to get through the screening as quickly as possible so consider keeping the sequins in the bag when going through security.
3. Liquids on Top
Most luggage has an outside zippered pocket. This is a great place to stash your liquids. It makes it easy to slide out and put back after you get through the screening. It also means you don’t need to open your entire bag, exposing your unmentionables to everyone at the airport. Nobody wants that.
4. Under Pack
I know, I know. You need an entire suitcase of shoes (and no, I am not just talking to women. Trust me, we know people!). Security experts say that an under packed bag is easier to screen, The denser a piece of luggage, the more likely it will need to be pulled off the belt and hand screened. We’re back to your unmentionables being exposed to everybody!
5. Check out Whineware
What is Whineware? It is a TSA-Kit approved to bring liquids through security. In this case, the liquids might be your favorite iced tea or orange juice. For those more mischievous, well let’s just say any liquid beverage works. We do refer you to any specific rules for your airport or airline on bringing certain beverages onto a plane for consumption. Cool though, right?
