Latest TSA Security Directives

  • No More "Shoes off Rule

    On U.S. airport security checkpoints there is no more requirement for travelers to remove their shoes.

  • Liquid Restrictions 

    3: travel-sized containers of .4 ounces (100 ml) or less.

    1: liquids to be placed in a single, quart-sized, clear, zip-top plastic bag.

    1: each passenger is allowed one quart-sized bag.

  • One‑Stop Security Pilot

    Pilot program allowing eligible international connecting passengers to bypass TSA re-screening.

    Currently limited to American Airlines on Delta and Delta from London Heathrow.

 

 

 



 

The TSA website at http://www.tsa.gov/contact/index.shtm lists the phone number. It is not specific to JFK, but I would start there. I doubt you can contact TSA at a specific airport, and the airport itself is run separately from the TSA security.

I will be travelling to Ecuador as a medical volunteer. I am bringing a microscope as a donation, and will carry it on board. Will I have trouble getting a microscope through security?

I do not want t get in trouble when I land, please let me know if it is not possible to bring these as soon as possible. Thank you very much.

Take great care, hide all medication inhalers in the hold luggage. I have had my three inhalers confiscated twice when flying out of the US to England. The risk is high, if you have breathing problems on a long flight. TSA never cater for anyone with medical problems, and are always obstructive and intimidating.

"Non-liquid or gel medications of all kinds such as solid pills, or inhalers are allowed through the security checkpoint once they have been screened. We recommend, but do not require, that your medications be labeled to assist with the screening process."

that is from TSA official website:

Quick questions. I'm leaving for my flight in a couple of days and I'm planning on taking a gaming systems (PS3) with me. How should I take it with me? I've heard that if you put it in its own bag and without anything connected to it, they will just treat it like a normal laptop. Or would it be possible to put it in my carry on with little bit of clothing inside.
