  • Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA employee.
  • You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Rather, you should position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for X-ray screening.
  • Remove personal items from your pockets, such as your phone, keys and wallet, and place them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
