We’re back with another desperate plea to stop hiding animals in weird places on your body before airport security. K, thanks.
Does your summer vacation have you adventuring at a beautiful @NatlParkService spot? Essentials that are g2g in your carry-on include: ✔️ Binoculars ✔️(Blunt tipped) hiking poles ✔️ Rocks ✔️ Rope ✔️ Sleeping Bag Full list: tsa.gov/travel/securit…
Don’t treat your flight like a lottery ticket. Showing up 10 minutes before your boarding time and hoping for the best? That’s not a chance we'd take. A better idea you can count on? Arrive early, don't forget to #PackSmart, and always have your ID out and ready.
Why sleep on a bench when you can sway the stress away? Travel tip of the day: #PackSmart and hang in there. #NationalHammockDay
Can you travel using a military ID? Yes! @DeptofDefense IDs for active and retired military continue to be an acceptable form of ID at TSA checkpoints. For the full list of acceptable IDs: tsa.gov/travel/securit…
The Golden Age of travel is HERE! ✈️🇺🇸 Under President Trump, TSA will continue to implement effective policies to increase hospitality, streamline checkpoints, while maintaining the highest security standards.
Summer means warm weather, but that can possibly bring storms and severe weather. For airport updates, including daily traffic reports, start with our friends at @FAANews. For any airline delays, start by checking with your airline.
Sunday, July 20 was the busiest day of all time for @TSA at @fly2ohare -- breaking a record that was set less than a month ago. We're expecting high passenger volumes to continue, so arrive early & pack smart when flying this summer!
You’ve heard about it, but are you wondering… what is REAL ID? REAL ID sets the standard for the issuance of IDs. Your ID is more secure & you're less susceptible to identity fraud. You can only get a REAL ID from your local DMV, so get yours today for a safer tomorrow!
Heading out this week for some summer fun? Begin packing with an empty bag, it’s the hottest travel trend this season. There shouldn’t be any sharp objects or last year’s leftover fireworks in your carry-on. Pack like a pro, clear the clutter, & make room for more memories.

It’s not every day that we see swords inside a carry-on bag (fortunately). Our officers at @DTWeetin discovered these last month. The passenger said they were for a martial arts competition. Pro #TravelTip: Items like these should be safely packed in checked bags, not carry-on.
Here's a #TravelTip: Traveling with your pets this weekend? Our X-ray machines are not veterinary equipment. Please don’t send your pets through our X-ray scanners! If you believe your pet may attempt an escape during screening, ask our officers about private screening options.
