Transporting Special Items
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has developed standardized security screening procedures for all airports. Therefore, you can expect that you will encounter essentially the same procedures at each airport you visit. We have identified some helpful information that explains the security screening procedures as they may apply to unique items.
NOTE: Please check with your airline before arriving at the airport. TSA will screen most any item regardless of type or size. As long as it can be cleared, it will be allowed through the checkpoint. It is the air carrier's responsibility to restrict items due to size limitations and these standards are different from one air carrier to another. Your knowledge of the procedures, and observance of the tips and recommendations, will help you move through the security checkpoint quickly and efficiently. If you have any questions while at the airport, ask for the TSA screening supervisor. You may also call our Contact Center toll-free at 1-866-289-9673 Monday - Friday between 8am - 6pm (24 hour voicemail). You may also email us at TellTSA (TellTSA@tsa.dot.gov). This information will be updated from time-to time. We recommend that you periodically check this web site to obtain the latest information. Source: Transportation Security Administration |
