It is imperative to ensure airport security not only for the safety of the passengers but to ensure that the operations will not be interrupted as well. Here are five tips which can be followed to achieve such a goal.
While on the line, empty your packet and place your stuffs on the briefcase or small bag that you might be carrying. You should also include your jewelries and watch. A buckle is also something you should get rid of to hasten the inspection process.
Be prepared. Instead of being idle while on the line, use the time to get rid of your keys, mints, coins, pens, phone, wallet etc and place them on the small nag or suitcase you are carrying. You will most likely end up being delayed on the scanner if you failed to do so.
It is not a good idea to bring liquids and gels with you. If you are used to do so, it's the right time to place them in your luggage. Things like eye drops, lotions and toiletries are included to this rule but medicine is an exception. You can bring them with you but be sure to follow TSA rules while doing so. Always check your hand bag to ensure that nothing is left there that might cause delays.
Wearing slip-on shoes instead of those with laces will significantly lessen the inspection time. Moreover, you won't be on such a hassle untying them as well. If you plan to stay formal in the flight, a penny loafer is a good option. However, there are some who don't mind being on a casual look so boat shoes, slip-on sneakers, and sandals can be possible solutions as well.
A laptop bag with a fast entry feature is a must if you plan to bring your laptop. The security officer will certainly require you to open it and bring out your laptop. Having the conventional bag will cost you a lot of time especially if the zippers are stuck so be sure to get a reliable one.
The airplane ticket should be within your reach. After the scan, the individual in-charge will advise you to show it and there is no other way for you to do so as quickly as possible but by putting in on your shirt pocket or the back pocket of your pants.
Do not let yourself be embarrassed as you search for the airplane ticket in your bag. Not only will it waste a lot of time but can delay the overall security operation as well and affect other passengers. By placing it within your body, flashing it to a security officer is a breeze.
