2003 TSA Holiday Travel Tips

Summary
The following is a list of holiday travel tips from the Transportation
Security Administration (TSA).
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued a helpful
list of airport travel tips for holiday travelers. By providing your
customers with knowledge of the procedures, and observance of the tips
and recommendations, you will help them move through the security
checkpoint quickly and efficiently. For more information, please go
to http://www.tsa.gov.

Holiday Travel Tips

(Transportation Security Administration)

Before the Airport:

Do NOT pack or bring prohibited items to the airport. Please go to
http://www.tsa.gov/interweb/assetlib...11_18_2003.pdf
for the complete list of these items.
Leave gifts unwrapped. They may be opened for inspection. This
applies to both carry-on and checked baggage. You can avoid this
possibility by shipping wrapped presents ahead of time or waiting to
wrap your gift until after you arrive at your destination.
Avoid wearing shoes, clothing, jewelry and other accessories that
contain metal. Metal items may set off the alarm on the metal
detector.
Put all undeveloped film and cameras with film in your carry-on
baggage. Checked baggage screening equipment will damage undeveloped
film. Therefore, you should place all film in your carry-on baggage.
You may ask for a hand inspection of all film and cameras with film at
the passenger checkpoint.
Carry-on baggage is limited to one carry-on bag plus one personal
item. Personal items include laptops, purses, small backpacks,
briefcases or camera cases. Remember, 1+1.
Place identification tags in and on all of your baggage. Don’t forget
your laptop computer.
At the Airport:
Before you get in line…

Do NOT bring drinks or other liquids to the security checkpoint unless
they are in paper or polystyrene (e.g. Styrofoam TM), sealed or
seal-able/spill-proof containers.
Do NOT bring food to the security checkpoint unless it is wrapped or
in a container. Unpeeled natural foods like fruit are okay.
Once you get in line…In, Out, Off

Put metal IN your carry-on bag. This includes jewelry, loose change,
keys, mobile phones, pagers and personal data assistants (PDAs).
Take OUT your laptop computer. Place it in a bin, separate from its
carrying case.
Take OFF your outer coat. Place it in a bin. Suit jackets and
blazers do not have to be removed, unless requested by the screener.

They issued press releases for fruitcakes on the 12th.

They were way ahead of this, so they would have plenty of time to collect
them and be able to give them as gifts.
