The TSA has made a deep commitment to not only improve security conditions, but to also make customer service a priority. As a result they have begun to consolidate passenger screening within the security checkpoints. Random and select screenings are now performed at checkpoints staffed by TSA staff where screening equipment is concentrated.

Access to these checkpoints requires passengers to present an photo ID and a boarding pass. Simply presenting a ticket or ticket confirmation is not enough to enter these checkpoints. In order to receive a boarding pass you must do one of a few things. You can go to the airline ticket counter and receive one or at the curbside check-in. You can also use the self-service kiosks locate din the airport lobby where they are available. The fourth option is to print a boarding pass from the airline website if the airline you are using offers that option. People who have parental official medical business or other business can sometimes access the checkpoint, but they verify first that the airline allows this and what documentation they will be required to present.

There are a few other things to keep in mind before heading to the airport to make it a more seamless experience. You should contact the airline or travel agent and inquire how soon you should arrive at the terminal. Check-in times vary from place to place. Verify where parking is permitted if you plan to park at the airport. Lots are sometimes closed due to security reasons so leave extra time to find parking and shuttle transport. Be sure to have your boarding pass or a ticket confirmation and also a government issued ID. Kids under 18 don't need an ID. Some airports only accept boarding passes to enter a checkpoint. Bring verification of any medical implants you may have if there is a risk of triggering a medical detector.

This is not required but it can speed up the process. Be sure that your carry-on contains no prohibited items such as scissors, pocketknives, etc. Carefully review the prohibited items list and be sure that you have pack in accordance with them. Also read and understand the TSA guidelines about unlocking checked baggage. Your luggage also must fit the size and weight parameters. Most wheeled carry on luggage will have a tag or logo specifying "airline approved size." You must never accept a package from a stranger who confronts you at the airport. Always report unattended bags you notice in the terminal. You should immediately report any suspicious persons or behavior to security or staff. Never ever make jokes about bombs or weapons. Don't even discuss thing like bombs, weapons, terrorism or explosives. If someone hears a word like this it could cause a security person to detain you. They are compelled to address any potential threat with total seriousness.
