Future Security Rule? Use The Bottle For Test!


To some passengers, it seems like just another way to make going through airport security even more unpleasant. TSA is now random testing water containers and other drinks purchased in the airport. The original regulation was that any containers taken into the airport by passengers had to be tested or tossed away. 

The new rule includes all containers, including those purchased at airport concession stands and restaurants on the way to security areas. To many passengers, it may seem that the next security-tighening step at airport check-ins will be for TSA agents to hand out those little bottles you usually get for liquid-testing when visiting your doctor.
Avoid Wearing Jewelry While Going Through Security PDF Print E-mail


Airport lines are too often long and inconvenient. You can make the routine easier by not wearing jewelry when you check in. In some cases, it could set off the metal detector alarm.

This may require putting your valuable jewelry in the open bin, where it passes along the moving belt for all to see and possibly grab. Also, if you’re wearing items containing metal, it may result in an uncomfortable pat-down from security.

For best results, avoid wearing jewelry while checking in. Pack it in your suitcase or carry-on bag instead. Or leave it all at home for a much less disruptive journey.
