WHAT CAN I BRING?

Planning ahead and packing properly can facilitate the screening process and
ease your travel experience at the airport. Know what you can pack in your
carry-on and checked baggage before arriving at the airport by reviewing the
lists below. Even if an item is generally permitted, it may be subject to
additional screening or not allowed through the checkpoint if it triggers an
alarm during the screening process, appears to have been tampered with, or poses
other security concerns. Read about civil penalties for prohibited items.

 * For items not listed here, our AskTSA team looks forward to answering your
   questions 365 days a year; live assistance is available from 8 am – 6 pm
   (ET).
   * Twitter: @AskTSA
   * Facebook Messenger: www.fb.com/AskTSA
   * Apple Business Chat: AskTSA
   * Text Message: Text "Travel" to AskTSA (275-872)

 

The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed
through the checkpoint.

 

Officers may ask you to power up your electronic device, including cell phones.
Powerless devices will not be permitted onboard the aircraft. TSA does not read
or copy information from your device.
