TSA checkpoints open daily approximately two hours in advance of the first scheduled flight. All passengers are required to submit to screening prior to boarding a flight and are expected to be familiar with the rules and regulations regarding prohibited items prior to entering the security checkpoint. The links below will aid you with being well prepared for the checkpoint.
More than 90% of passengers pass through the nation’s security checkpoints without requiring a secondary screening. If selected for secondary screening – by random selection or due to an alert during primary screening – you do have a right to request that this screening occur in a screened location, away from public view.
