Use circular knitting needles if possible. If that is not possible, try
needles made out material other than metal (bamboo or plastic)
Scissors must have blunt ends
No cutters will be allowed through security. They must be in your checked
baggage.
Medications
Clearly label all medication so it can be identified.
Place meds in clear plastic bags to make screening easier.
If you don’t want your meds or medical equipment x-rayed, you need to
request a visual inspection before the screening begins.
Extra Tips
Tape a business card to the bottom of your laptop to identify it.
Remove body piercings that are underneath clothing if possible. Keeping them
in may result in a more detailed search.
Bringing a gift to someone on the other end of your flight? Do not wrap the
gift before you get to the airport. Wrap at the end of your journey or ship the
gift ahead of your flight.
Bring a self-addressed stamped envelope in case you are prohibited from
bringing an item on the plane. You can mail it back home. Without this, you may
be asked to voluntarily give it up, and there is no getting it back.
Pack any item that needs to be hand inspected in a clear plastic ziplock
bag.
Start the trip off on the right foot by following my advice and have a great
time at your destination!
