AVOID These TSA Line MISTAKES (9 Must-Know Airport Security Tips)

What I “LOVE” is when TSA tells you to keep an eye on your belongings, but then before your stuff goes through the scanner, they are ushering you through the body scanner, where you loose track of your personal stuff!

I have what I call Airport Anxiety and so I overthink things. I do my best to do the 2 hours ahead of time. I'd rather be sitting there for a long time at the gate than have an anxiety attack over being late.

That last point is excellent: don't let a few not so good moments ruin the rest of your trip. Before you leave, try to pack correctly, get to airport early and once you're on the other side of TSA......enjoy!!!!

Twenty nine years working for an airline and I know less today than when I first started. Happy travels.

I just had the best TSA experience. I had to fly the day after my backpack was stolen with no ID. It took a little longer but I was so grateful to be told, “you’re free to go.”

Thank you. Heading to Iceland this summer and haven’t flown for 12 years. All good to know.

Flying home in May from Phoenix. I have a lot of M&Ms in my handluggage. The agent asked me, "why do many" Me: "we don't have this flavours in Austria, they are for me and my friends" He smilied - everything was okay.

I focus on the first drink I'm going to have once I get through! 🍷🤣

INCREDIBLY valuable for someone like me. Thanks so much!

I’ve always found it interesting to watch as I wait the process. I wore easy slip on shoes. I watched a guy remove one lace up boot and slam it on the TSA table then the same procedure with the other boot. He was upset to the point that four TSA agents handled him through a much harsher process. I smile, answer the questions and thank them for checking.

Great advice! I’ve been traveling for many years and I agree with you. Keep a positive attitude and just make the best of it.

My hubby considers me a dork but I avoid the hassle of getting things out to put into the bin by having a fold up bag and putting all those items like laptop, etc into that one bag just before we get to the airport (or after we park if I have procrastinated). It is so much easier for me to deal with the TSA check if I don’t have to fumble through things to get them out and after going through screening, throw it all back in my bag and organize it once I am at the gate waiting to depart.

Thanks for your video. 2:00 In metric/SI units: 3.4 US fluid ounces, about 100 mL or 0.1 litre; 1 US quart, almost 1 litre.

In Australia, there used to be a rule about liquid in pressure cans which includes shaving cream, my brother suggested shaving oil. Only thig is shaving oil is unpleasent to use as it doesn’t readily wash off. In Australia, our airport security seem to look to the TSA for inspiration. Even on domestic flights. There are probably training videos.

It's now common knowledge that TSA has different rules at different airports, but it's inexcusable that the agents make you feel like crap if you don't know the rules for the one you're at.

Another excellent video. Just an addition to the "ask TSA" portion. I have done this a few times on messenger. Each time I received a response within a half hour.

Tip #10 -- when you have an artificial hip you will always set off the metal detectors. So opt to go through the body scanner or be prepared for a pat down every time you fly.

Obsessed with your guys channel! Thanks for all the info

Very helpful video, thanks for this. Havent flown in for so long. My global entry interview is in a couple months and then my first international trip in November. So excited!

I do agree with everything you said. However there is one small caveat that you didn’t mention with regard to 3-1-1 liquids. It does not apply to medical stuff like medication or distilled water for cpap machines. You still have to remove them from your bag and explain what it’s for. They will have to scan it and it does take a few extra minutes but large airports are quite familiar with all these items so it’s usually not a big deal. Also if you have that much toiletry items better to put it in your checked bag so you don’t have to deal with TSA.
