Top Ten Things to do to get through Security Faster!

1. Carry-On Luggage - Think Small.The maximum size carry-on bag for most airlines is 45 linear inches (the total of the height, width, and depth of the bag).
2. Put your personal belongings in clear plastic bags.
3. De-clutter your carry-on bag. This lets our Transportation Security Officers get a clear, uncomplicated X-ray image of your carry-on.
4. Look professional, before leaving for the airport, do your best to keep from looking sloppy and poorly groomed. You may be tired and jet-lagged, but keep in mind that appearance matters.
5. Make sure all electronic devices have charged batteries. You may need to turn them on.
6. Transfer all metal objects into your carry-on luggage and/or jacket pockets before approaching security.
7. Travel in shoes that come on and off with ease.
8. When dealing with security personnel, be cooperative. Don't complain, and don't make jokes, either. You may be misinterpreted.
9. Check the TSA website for prohibited items before packing.
10. Be calm and patient, stress and tension might be interpreted as nervous guilt.
