With all the background noise in an airport, any one with an auditory processing issue and / or is hard of hearing would likely be unable to understand the verbal directions of TSA or airport personnel when they aren't being spoken to directly, face to face

I have a family member who is a TSA agent. She says if the dogs are out sniffing, it is highly unlikely you will have to take anything out of your bag. They will alert their handlers if they detect something that warrants further inspection.

My biggest pet peeve is waiting for my luggage and little kids are running around and waiting right up next to the luggage carousel area.
I try to stand back and wait for mine, unlike people who crowd right up next to it so none of us can see the luggage coming out and when it comes around, little kids are just hanging out right up next to the carousel and I cant get to my luggage. Little kids can’t pull off their luggage and they’re just getting in the way. Get your luggage, hang back, WITH YOUR KIDS, and wait for your next piece of luggage!

Fabulous video! My pet peeve are those people ( including my hubby-sorry honey) that put all their stuff on and back into their bags right at the conveyor belt when it comes thru scanners! I often have to remind my hubby that we need to take our grey bins and move away from conveyor and situate everything in another spot! There is no need to hurry as we will find our boarding gate and wait there for like, 3 hours before boarding!!! Blessings!

I'm too busy minding my own business and watching out for crazy people to be irritated by others. Keep your hands off other people's things, don't touch others, control your kids, don't jump in front of others and be polite.

Before getting into the security line, I find a bench to sit down and remove my shoes, being older it’s tennis shoes (leaving my socks on), so I’m when I get there I’m ready. After going through the line I gather all my items in the bins and find I spot, out of the way, to change socks, put my shoes on and rearrange anything in my carry on so I can walk through the airport without having any issues.

Great tips thank you! I could have reallly used the TSA cares progam when I recently went through JFK in New York it was an incredibly stressful situation all around and I was in tears after going through TSA precheck it seemed everyone was shouting and so rude; I was also patted down for some change I forgot in my pocket. It was early in the morning so all the airline workers were passing us to go through screening first and the line seemed to take forever. I was overwhelmed and really had to work hard to keep myself together and avoid a panic attack. I fly a lot internationally, but it was at the end of a long trip (third leg) and was not expecting the long line at immigration and the rudeness of the workers to me was just the last straw, even though it might just have been the "new york attitude".

There is no excuse for the abusive TSA agent! Screaming and yelling passengers is unprofessional and unacceptable. I think most of them work at O''hare and Heathrow!

The person scanning carry-ons for TSA was concerned when my bag containing chargers for my husband and my phones and iPad were in one bag. She said that the number of wires in one carry-on looked like a device when seen by the scanner. Another TSA employee opened the bag after the scan, and lectured me on not packing so many wires (three wires less than a yard each) in one bag.

I learned last week in Denver to go through the stand up body scanner because I have a new knee replacement! Going through the old school line, got me fully patted down! The TSA agent gave me the heads up! Return flight was a breeze!

At last some clear advice regards liquids. Put the plastic bag inside the so-called recommended toiletries bag.

[leeannkleine]

When I pack my water bottle for security, I have the bottle on 1 side of my personal item bag and the lid on the other. This way, the agent can see before it goes into the machine that it's empty. I have also noticed that many airports are now posting signs statting to NOT stack the bins up at the end of the conveyor. If I see that, I will follow that posted instruction instead of automatically stacking. I think those airports are on a timed conveyor, but I'm not positive. Botton line is to be considerate of others when you travel, not just of yourself.

ALSO, all electronics you bring MUST be charged, if they ask, you must be able to turn it on.

Note not wearing control underwear after security. Wear socks even with slipons.

Agent/officer/ thief. I have had my share. Tsa has taught me some things.
Good video

[melodymills]

Great video as a reminder for those who do travel and especially for newbies. I have a cousin who hasn't flown since before 911 and we are going to travel to Alaska in May. This video will be extremely helpful to her.

This is the most perfect airport video I’ve seen. No suggestions here for once.

[colleencorr-panek]

Another informative video, thank you 🙂

Wonderful tips and tricks! To help myself out and my travel buddy that seems to breeze through TSA, I have gotten my global pass. I am also changing over to non-liquid items such as shampoo bars, and toothpaste tabs. The less liquids I can bring through the happier I am!
