What's New:
The
Transportation Security Administration and
private industry are partnering to develop a
Registered Traveler Program to provide quick
airport security screening for passengers and
luggage for individuals who volunteer biometric
and biographic to TSA industry vendors People
screened will be assigned a threat assessment
value. Those with a low risk value can pass
through security quickly and easily with just
biometric identification.
Just
a thought? If you can obtain a pilots license,
like the 9/11 highjackers did, you will
likely have a low risk value? Humm, I am not
sure this makes us any safer .
There is more to being a security friendly
passenger than just what you do or don't pack in
your luggage. If you choose to pack banned items
expect to go through a more extensive luggage
and body search and do not expect to make your
flight.

Tips:

Arrive at the Airport 1 hour before your
schedule departure time. During peak holiday
seasons or during Airline strikes plan to be at
the airport 2 to 3 hours before take off.
2.

You will be search for an out of date drivers
license.
3.
Do not over pack your carry on luggage. If the
security person opens your carry on luggage and
all the content fall out due to over packing
they will not repack your luggage for you. They
may ask you to weigh your luggage to make sure
it is within the size and weight restrictions.
