The Hassle of Airport Security

Airports can be a stressful place, especially when it comes to security checks. The long lines, the removal of shoes and belts, and the dreaded x-ray machine can make even the most seasoned traveler feel frazzled. But it doesn't have to be this way. By understanding the airport security process and what is allowed and prohibited, travellers can make their experience much smoother.

 

First, it's important to know the restrictions on liquids in carry-on bags. Passengers are allowed to bring a quart-sized bag of liquids, aerosols, gels, creams, and pastes in their carry-on and checked bags. These items must be placed in a clear, plastic, resealable bag for inspection. All liquids, aerosols, gels, creams, and pastes must be 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less per item.

Additionally, sharp items such as scissors and knives are prohibited in carry-on bags, but may be placed in checked bags. Laptops, tablets, e-readers, and other larger electronics must be removed from carry-on bags and placed in bins for X-ray screening. Passengers are also advised to remove their shoes and place them in bins to be scanned.

  

The security process at the airport can be stressful, but by being prepared and understanding the rules, travellers can minimize the hassle and make their experience more pleasant.
