  • You're required to wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA officer.
  • You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA employee. Rather, position the pass on the reader and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
  • Empty your personal items from your pockets, such as your keys, phone and wallet, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
  • Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA employee will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
