Doesn’t matter if they’re a bandit, candy security, a leprechaun, or a cat cosplaying as a TSA K9. DO NOT put your pet through the X-ray. We don’t need the jump scare!

Not a Marvel-ous idea in your carry-on bag. Adamantium-tally our SEA officers were amazed to see this image roll across their X-ray screen. Please pack all mutant blades in a checked bag.

From Ghostface to Pooh, it’s boo-rrific with us if you’d like to put on your costumes *after* security! Place any Halloween replica weapons in your checked bags but leave anything resembling an explosive at home. We’d prefer to keep the screams & “oh, bother” to a minimum.

President Trump leads the most pro-family administration in American history. That’s why TSA is proud to be making travel with children easier than ever through Families on the Fly.

Your vape can fly. Your checked bag is not the place for it. Vapes and e-cigarettes must go in your carry-on, not checked baggage, because lithium batteries and checked luggage aren’t a great combo.

Your suitcase shouldn’t be a “we’ll deal with it at the checkpoint” situation. PackSmart. Check before you pack for any leftover items in an old backpack or suitcase. Your future self (and your TSA officer) will appreciate it.

The checkpoint isn’t the place to lose your cool. Interfering with screening, threatening officers, or disruptive behavior can have serious consequences. TSA and @FAANews each play a critical role in keeping you safe. Respect the process and the people protecting you.

Some things should stay a mystery. Airport security rules aren’t one of them. Wondering what can fly in your carry-on? Not sure what to expect at the checkpoint? Slide into @AskTSA’s DMs. We’re literally here to help.

From hiring, to TSA PreCheck, to random travel questions…
Billboard that says if only there was a way to ask TSA about packing 12 oranges, 3 doorknobs, ice skates, and a lizard BEFORE the airport... AskTSA text \"travel\" to 275-872

It’s Reptile Awareness Day! Our officers have found reptiles in weird places, from turtles in undergarments to lizards in coolers, and snakes in bags and even someone’s pants! The humane thing to do is check your airline’s rules before traveling with any animal. Don’t hide them!
