Airport metal detectors are extremely sensitive and may be set off by piercing jewelry, underwire or metal boning in clothing, and many shoes. Remove outerwear before you get to the security checkpoint. Certain types of clothing, shoes, binding materials, prostheses or jewelry may cause you to receive additional screening. You have the right to wear what you wish. All travelers may ask any TSA official for private screening if their bags need to be opened. Any medications and supplies, such as syringes should be placed in a separate bag in your carry-on luggage.
If possible, consider packing items containing liquid, gel, or powder in your checked luggage. Gel-filled prosthetic items such as breast forms are not included in the three-ounce liquid limit for carry-ons, as they are considered medically necessary, but their presence in your carry-on luggage may result in extra screening. Medical equipment and prosthetics will be allowed through the checkpoint after completing the screening process, but some travelers may feel more comfortable putting these things in checked baggage. Packing valuable items like cameras, cash, or laptop computers in your checked luggage is not recommended. In deciding whether to check or carry on baggage, keep in mind that carry-on luggage is subject to additional restrictions (for example, regarding liquids and gels), and may be searched in your presence. Be sure to check TSA’s list of prohibited items. All luggage-checked and carry-on-must be screened and may be hand-searched by TSA personnel.
