Where to Go and What to Do at Security.
Airport Security is often seen as a considerable nuisance, but with the proper amounts of planning, it can be done effectively, without pains or inconvenience. Begin by familiarizing oneself with the packing regulations at the airport of departure as well as those of the airport of arrival, since they differ. Wear easy-on/easy-off shoes, and little or no jewelry, to ease the screening success activities, while keeping identification and boarding pass at hand. If one is taking an electronic, pack it in an easily removed location, so it is convenient for getting it out of the bag, as many bags have compartments for bulky stacks. Be sure that in regard to liquids that they follow the regulations of not more than 1 quart sized bag per person, and that they are in an outer compartment so that they can be gotten at quickly when necessary.
It is also wise to use technology to your advantage. Enroll in such \"trusted traveler\" programs as those of TSA PreCheck, and Global Entry, as these programs provide easier screening as well as relieve such items as shoes, laptops and liquids out of the bag, thereby speeding up the process. Be sure and arrive at the terminal in plenty of time, so there is no need to hurry. Stay cool, calm, and collected, so that the process can run smoothly when insturctions are issued by the security officers. Look at the screening line times, as they spent the least amount of time at the line farthest away from the entrance\'s door. When well prepared and organized, there is no need to worry about security at the airport, as there is no longer a stress, but simply a method to proceed smoothly and with ease to get through the security functions.
