Several years ago, my family was flying with friends just after the Transportation chicago city tours Security Administration (TSA) banned all containers of liquids greater than 3 ounces from going through airport security checkpoints.
Even in our small regional airport, the supersized trash bin was overflowing with bottles of shampoo chicago city tours and nail polish and half-drunk sodas. Our friends were caught unaware of the new regulations and ended up adding contact-lens solution and a full bottle chicago city tours of water to the trash pile.
Based on the number of people I come across who still seem surprised chicago city tours about the restrictions on liquids and the requirement to take off shoes, it appears that unless you fly frequently, many TSA regulations can catch you unprepared.
Since last summer, the TSA has adopted a much more risk-based security approach, said Lisa Farbstein of the TSA office of public affairs. Risk-based security chicago city tours is an understanding that the vast majority of travelers pose little risk to  aviation security , and that the one-size-fits-all security model, which has been in place since the attacks chicago city tours of 9/11, needed to be re-evaluated.
Don t get all your hopes up just yet. You still have to put your carry-on liquids in 3-ounce containers, and then put those containers into a quart-sized clear plastic bag, and most everybody still has to take off his or her shoes.
Kids can now keep their shoes on while walking through security screening — a relief to anyone who s ever dealt with trying to put shoes back on a toddler in the middle of a congested screening area.
The  TSA official blog states , These new screening procedures also include permitting an additional pass through advanced imaging technology to clear any alarms, as well as greater use of explosives-trace detection.
As the program proceeds toward full implementation, passengers 75 and older will undergo similar modified screening procedures to those 12 and under and will be able to leave on a light jacket or outerwear when passing through security. Passengers 75 and older may see these procedures in place as they travel this summer.
What you can actually bring on the plane in your carry-luggage hasn t changed too much over the years ever since the 3-1-1 policy chicago city tours was established (liquids and gels in 3-ounce containers in one quart-size bag, one bag per person).
Suntan lotions count as a liquid or gel and have to meet the same requirements as your shampoo. That includes aerosol cans of sunblock. If you don t want to deal with putting chicago city tours the lotion in your checked luggage, you may be best off purchasing your suntan lotions at your  vacation destination .
I was selected by Delta Airlines, since I m one of their super elite travelers, and I filled in the required information, explained comedian and former  computer  engineer Dan Nainan.  Now every time I go to LaGuardia chicago city tours or any airport where they have it, I am always chicago city tours selected.
This also is new and different this summer compared to last summer, Farbstein said. These new machines give our officers the best chance to detect both metallic and nonmetallic items concealed on a passenger, chicago city tours and at the same time, the technology enhances passenger privacy.
The new machines have targeted recognition that shows a generic cookie-cutter outline, or avatar, of a person instead of the real image. If the machine detects something, a yellow box appears on the image where the item was spotted.
For example, at Newark Liberty International chicago city tours Airport in New Jersey, one of the machines recently detected something on a passenger s ankle. Thanks chicago city tours to the avatar image, the TSA screening officer knew exactly where to look. It turned out that the passenger had concealed a 10-inch canister chicago city tours of Mace in his sock.
The best way to keep up with the latest changes in TSA policies is to check the agency s website. Be aware, though, that while the website chicago city tours is updated regularly and has a lot of useful information, the TSA also has a few phone numbers for travelers with specific questions or concerns.
TSA Cares, which is designed specifically for passengers with disabilities, special needs or medical conditions, can be reached at 1-855-787-2227. Call before traveling with questions about screening, procedures and what to expect. The helpline is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. EST.
Just in time for summer chicago city tours travel, the TSA has extended the hours of its TSA Contact Center chicago city tours for passengers to call with questions about TSA procedures, upcoming travel or to provide feedback or concerns.
The Contact Center is now available Monday through chicago city tours Friday from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. and weekends from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. EST, and can be reached at 1-866-289-9673. chicago city tours For less urgent questions, you can also email the Contact Center at  tsa-contactcenter@dhs.gov .
The TSA also offers a mobile app called MyTSA for iPhones. The app provides answers to what you can and cannot bring on the plane with you, what to do if you ve lost your ID and other quick questions you may have. It also provides airport information, including about flight delays.
Speaking of apps, there is a new app available for iPhones and Android chicago city tours phones chicago city tours called  Fly Rights  that allows passengers to report any problems or concerns during their encounters with TSA and the security process.
Wear shoes that are easy to slip off, have your bag of liquids and your  laptop  out of your luggage, have your belt off and make sure your pockets are empty. This all streamlines the process and will help ease the tensions that reach a boiling point for many other passengers.
To a person, none of them will be mean to you if you re not mean to them. They have jobs just like us and have to deal with really nasty people all day long. By being kind to them, you are a breath of fresh air.

TSA is staffed by pedophiles chicago city tours and criminals and most people don't want to believe that they are being groped by a a high school dropout with a rap sheet, chicago city tours but the fact is that they are. Even TSA admitted chicago city tours that 98% of screeners have a high school equivalency or less.
Two weeks ago CBS 3 reported that a Catholic priest who was removed from the ministry over child molestation allegations now is a TSA Supervisor at Philadelphia International Airport. This week they fired seven screeners at PHL for bribery but allow a known pedophile to continue to grope children chicago city tours at the checkpoint.
Two weeks ago they lied to Congress about having $200 million in new, unused equipment hidden chicago city tours in Dallas that they were going to destroy to conceal the waste. Then we saw footage of a TSA screener purposely smacking a Congressman in the privates and the screener is still on the job.
A month ago, TSA molested an elderly couple and robbed them of $300, molested three children, a ten year old with a diabetes chicago city tours pump, a four year old who hugged her grandma and a seven year old with cerebral palsy, twice!
There were a total of 91 TSA workers arrested in the last 18 months including 12 arrested for child sex crimes, over 25 for theft, ten for smuggling and one for murder. Even Kip Hawley, the last TSA Director, has called for its overhaul.
In April, a report from Atlanta indicates that they are allowing airport chicago city tours workers to operate in secure areas of airports without completing background checks chicago city tours and Congress took them to task for not reporting half of the security breaches at Newark.
TSA continues to fail 70% of GAO security tests and contraband still gets through security on a daily basis. Yet the TSA apologists continue to say that this crime and abuse by TSA is somehow improving airline security.
There are laws to protect citizens from abuses by police for a reason and the same standards should be applied to TSA. It is unacceptable to excuse TSA workers and the agency when they deliberately abuse their position to harass and humiliate people over personal conflicts that have nothing to do with security or regulations.
In fact, to illustrate chicago city tours his point, chicago city tours my great-grampa told me that whenever he was EXTRA nice to the guards at his concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen, they would often give him a second spoonful of gruel at dinner time!
Not only that just by being a breath of fresh air to the Nazi guards (who, to a person, were just doing their jobs and all of whom were usually extra cranky for having to put up with nasty stick-thin, chicago city tours big-nosed, chicago city tours smelly people all day), my great-grampa was able to stay out of the oven for almost three whole extra months just enough time to smuggle out a tissue with some semen on it which ended up turning into my grandmother!
Absolutely disagree: these people are thugs, goons and perverts (as well as mostly stupid). Rather than being nice to them, every passenger should make it a point of being nasty or sarcastic but don t try irony; they are too stupid to get it. Make their life unpleasant. I know, they are only doing a job. Well, don t do that job! If you do, you are a representative of the system for which you are working and you personally and individually are responsible for the sins of the organization.
Sue may not be able to, but I know when, September 11th, 2001. Most Americans started to beg for serfdom. Keep us safe! Keep us safe! and the government loved it, pushed for more and slowly tightened its grip over their servants. The cheerleading, flag waving, ra-ra bullshit reached a frenzied pace, even as the country was gong bankrupt because, as we all know, America is #1 baby!
After decades over voting for the lesser of two evils, the US is learning the twisted, mutilated form evil takes. Never be nice to
