When you pass through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to briefly lower it to verify your identity. Anyone refusing to wear a face mask may be fined and denied boarding.
To reduce the possibility of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
TSA is now permitting passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will have to be removed from your bag and submitted for screening.
To minimize handling during screening, place items such as your belt, phone and wallet into your carry-on rather than the bins.
Separate any food you have for screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to handle and inspect your belongings.
