I have a family member who is a TSA agent. She says if the dogs are out sniffing, it is highly unlikely you will have to take anything out of your bag. They will alert their handlers if they detect something that warrants further inspection.

I'm too busy minding my own business and watching out for crazy people to be irritated by others. Keep your hands off other people's things, don't touch others, control your kids, don't jump in front of others and be polite.

At last some clear advice regards liquids. Put the plastic bag inside the so-called recommended toiletries bag.

My biggest pet peeve is waiting for my luggage and little kids are running around and waiting right up next to the luggage carousel area. I try to stand back and wait for mine, unlike people who crowd right up next to it so none of us can see the luggage coming out and when it comes around , little kids are just hanging out right up next to the carousel and I cant get to my luggage. Little kids can’t pull off their luggage and they’re just getting in the way. Get your luggage, hang back, WITH YOUR KIDS, and wait for your next piece of luggage!

With all the background noise in an airport, any one with an auditory processing issue and / or is hard of hearing would likely be unable to understand the verbal directions of TSA or airport personnel when they aren't being spoken to directly, face to face

#15. These agents are at work. I may smile and say thank you after I get through the screening, but I let them work.

My husband has been asked why he is not wearing a belt going through TSA. Anything out of the ordinary draws attention.

Fabulous video! My pet peeve are those people ( including my hubby-sorry honey) that put all their stuff on and back into their bags right at the conveyor belt when it comes thru scanners! I often have to remind my hubby that we need to take our grey bins and move away from conveyor and situate everything in another spot! There is no need to hurry as we will find our boarding gate and wait there for like, 3 hours before boarding!!! Blessings!

ALSO, all electronics you bring MUST be charged, if they ask, you must be able to turn it on.

Note not wearing control underwear after security. Wear socks even with slipons.

The last few times I’ve flown with my electronics, I’ve been asked to pull them out of if I have them all packed together, as in layered or stacked with each other in the same pocket or right next to each other. If i separate them - laptop in back pocket, kindle in front pocket, iPad in middle pocket of my backpack - I’m less likely to be asked to take them out. I have TSA pre check and global entry now, but the way you pack electronics is key, as my electronics were pulled out in Anchorage. I realized it’s because they were all mashed together instead of separated in my bag.

The person scanning carry-ons for TSA was concerned when my bag containing chargers for my husband and my phones and iPad were in one bag. She said that the number of wires in one carry-on looked like a device when seen by the scanner. Another TSA employee opened the bag after the scan, and lectured me on not packing so many wires (three wires less than a yard each) in one bag.

I learned last week in Denver to go through the stand up body scanner because I have a new knee replacement! Going through the old school line, got me fully patted down! The TSA agent gave me the heads up! Return flight was a breeze!

Great tips thank you! I could have reallly used the TSA cares progam when I recently went through JFK in New York it was an incredibly stressful situation all around and I was in tears after going through TSA precheck it seemed everyone was shouting and so rude; I was also patted down for some change I forgot in my pocket. It was early in the morning so all the airline workers were passing us to go through screening first and the line seemed to take forever. I was overwhelmed and really had to work hard to keep myself together and avoid a panic attack. I fly a lot internationally, but it was at the end of a long trip (third leg) and was not expecting the long line at immigration and the rudeness of the workers to me was just the last straw, even though it might just have been the "new york attitude".

Before getting into the security line, I find a bench to sit down and remove my shoes, being older it’s tennis shoes (leaving my socks on), so I’m when I get there I’m ready. After going through the line I gather all my items in the bins and find I spot, out of the way, to change socks, put my shoes on and rearrange anything in my carry on so I can walk through the airport without having any issues.

I don't pack any toiletries. I buy them at the grocery store at my destination. My hotel usually has shampoo and soap.

There is no excuse for the abusive TSA agent! Screaming and yelling passengers is unprofessional and unacceptable. I think most of them work at O''hare and Heathrow!

When I pack my water bottle for security, I have the bottle on 1 side of my personal item bag and the lid on the other. This way, the agent can see before it goes into the machine that it's empty. I have also noticed that many airports are now posting signs statting to NOT stack the bins up at the end of the conveyor. If I see that, I will follow that posted instruction instead of automatically stacking. I think those airports are on a timed conveyor, but I'm not positive. Botton line is to be considerate of others when you travel, not just of yourself.

Agent/officer/ thief. I have had my share. Tsa has taught me some things. Good video
