The Transportation and Safety Administration (TSA) is screening nearly 3 million travelers a week this summer, eyeballing every single carry-on. And they’re finding all sorts of things in travelers’ carry-ons that cause delays and those passengers to either get patted down or interrogated. If you’re traveling anytime soon,...

The 'Dirty Dozen' carry-on items that will get you pulled aside by TSA

Let's be honest — travel is fun, but the ordeal of going through security screening isn't quite as enjoyable. The anticipation of a trip can be thrilling, whether you're going to explore one of California's widest stretches of beach or heading to a hill town in Italy that Rick Steves thinks is the most underrated. Think of all that planning — researching destinations, deciding where and when to go, and then making the bookings. Getting to the airport adds to that bubbling excitement, the realization that the trip is finally happening. But after dropping off your luggage, the joy of travel can dissipate as a sinking sensation in your stomach takes hold.

12 Airport Hacks That Can Help You Zip Through TSA

In the U.S., the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was created in 2001 to mitigate threats and keep air travelers safe. Even if the TSA's dreaded liquid rule and the confusing protocol on laptops can be frustrating to deal with, the agency and its security officers play a vital role in keeping American airports safe. That said, not everyone associated with the TSA does the right thing all the time.

Some People Say The TSA Is Stealing Their Things. Here's What To Do If It Happens To You

Newsflash, travelers: You may have to put your souvenir or gift-giving dreams on hold. Or, at the very least, in a checked bag. There are some odd items that are forbidden in carry-on luggage. First Things First. This isn’t a complete list of the bizarre items you can’t bring in...

Are you usually that person at the airport sprinting to the departure gate, or are you the anxious flyer lurking around the boarding area for hours before takeoff? If you’ve ever done either, you’ve probably asked yourself: How early should I get to the airport?

How Early Should I Get to the Airport?

When you’re going through airport security check-in, in addition to removing your shoes, taking out your laptop is to make sure there is no liquid over 3.4 ounces with you, which forces you to buy the expensive $5 per bottle of water at the airport. Millions of travelers face the same issue thanks to the 3-1-1 liquids rule from the TSA. However, a clever travel hack that went viral on TikTok suggests that if you wish to carry larger liquids onto your plane, you can freeze them before reaching the airport and take them through security.

This Smart Hack Allows You to Bring Larger Liquids, Over 3.4 Ounces, Through TSA at the Airport

The TSA doesn’t technically seize items. Their job is to identify prohibited items and inform you that they can’t pass through security in your carry-on. You have options: surrender the item, check your bag, or take the item back to your car or give it to someone not traveling. For example, if you have a shampoo bottle over the liquid limit, you’ll need to surrender it to board your flight.
