Keep informed with the latest updates by checking government and travel websites. Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to adjust your mask for ID purposes. To minimize the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA employee. You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. This will need to be taken out for X-ray screening. To reduce handling during the screening process, put items such as your wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on instead of into the bins. If you're planning to take food on the plane, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
