Recently, a passenger traveling through
@JAXairport
brought along a deodorant labeled “mineral fortified” -- but the traveler had fortified it with a knife hidden inside the container. No “odor control” will be happening, but a clean fine from
@TSA
will be applied. Great catch!

Traveling with your favorite chips and dip? You don’t want it to become all chips and no dip. So be sure your creamy sauces are 3.4oz or less in carry-on. In queso you’re wondering, all your travel-size liquids need to fit in a single quart-size bag. More: bit.ly/2jdA04N

You always want to treat your pet right! At security don’t ever send an animal through the X-ray machine. If you’re afraid your pet may escape when removed from their carrier, speak with our officers about private screening options. #NationalPuppyDay

Great tip,
@FAANews
! Baby carriers or car/booster seats must be screened by X-ray, however, equipment that doesn’t fit in the machine will undergo inspection by our officers. Be sure to remove any items from pockets or baskets and place them in the bin as well.

You may not be nuts about it, but TSA considers your PB a liquid. In carry-on, it needs to be 3.4oz or less. Make sure all your travel-sized liquids fit in one quart-sized bag. #PeanutButter
Peanut Butter... a liquid has no definite shape and take a shape dictated by its container.

It’s the first day of Spring! Are you still getting a bunch of rain or snow? If you’re traveling and are in need of an umbrella, they’re good to go in carry-on bags. Make sure to check with your airline for any size or weight restrictions. #SpringBegins #SpringBreakTravelTips
