Don't over-pack. Take only what you absolutely need. An overstuffed bag can slow down security screening because it's generally hard to reclose. Consider spreading items in between several bags.
Carry-on bags: think small. Carry-on items are limited to one bag and one personal item, such as a purse, briefcase or laptop. The bag can be no bigger than 9" X 14" X 22" or a total of 45 linear inches.
Be sure your bags have identification tags on both the outside and inside.
Put all undeveloped film in your carry-on bag because checked baggage screening equipment will damage film. If your film is over ASA/ISO 800, or has been sent through an X-ray machine five times, request a hand inspection.
Don’t wrap gifts. All packages may be opened for inspection by security screeners.
All passengers who are 18 years of age and older must present a government issued photo ID.
WHEN YOU GET TO THE AIRPORT
As you approach the checkpoint, take your laptop and video cameras with cassettes out of their cases.
Remove your outer coat, suit coat, jacket or blazer to place in bin for X-ray.
Place the following items in your carry-on baggage before entering the screening checkpoint: cell phones and personal data assistants, keys, loose change, jewelry and large metal items.
