New Travel Security Measures
- - - -

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
announced that effective immediately, additional
security measures are in effect in response to
recent events in the United Kingdom. The
announcement is below:

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
is implementing a series of security measures,
some visible and some not visible, to ensure the
security of the traveling public and the nation's
transportation system.

NO LIQUIDS OR GELS OF ANY KIND WILL BE PERMITTED
IN CARRY-ON BAGGAGE. SUCH ITEMS MUST BE IN
CHECKED BAGGAGE.

This includes all beverages, shampoo, suntan
lotion, creams, tooth paste, hair gel, and other
items of similar consistency Exceptions: Baby formula
and medicines, which must be presented for
inspection at the checkpoint.

Beverages purchased in the boarding area, beyond
the checkpoint, must be consumed before boarding
because they will not be permitted onboard the
aircraft.

Passengers traveling from the United Kingdom to
the United States will be subject to a more
extensive screening process. These measures will be
constantly evaluated and updated as circumstances
warrant.

Additionally, the United Kingdom has, at least
temporarily, banned all carry on luggage.

What You Need to Know
- - - -

* No liquids of any kind are permitted to be
carried on to a flight. Even travel-size items such
as hand lotion are banned at this time. If you
have
doubts about any item leave it at home.

* Exceptions include baby formula, breast milk or
juice for passengers traveling with infants and
small children, prescription medicine that matches
the passengers name, and essential
non-prescription medicines. Be sure all medicines are clearly
labeled.

* At this time, these measures are subject to
change. They may be temporary or may be extended.

* Passengers who normally carry on their luggage
will be greatly affected. Keep in mind that
toiletries such as cologne, shampoo, nail polish,
eyeliner, and toothpaste are all banned. You may
either check bags containing such items or
purchase them at your destination. Search through what
you
carry in your purse or brief case. Be sure to
remove any liquid hand sanitizer, perfume, lip balm,
sun tan lotion, or liquid breath fresheners.

* Drinks purchased at the airport after passing
through security must be consumed before boarding.
You will not be allowed to take along bottled
water
or other drinks.

* Naturally, picking up your favorite bottle of
alcohol at the Duty-Free shop is out of the
question.

* At this time, according to the TSA and contrary
to some media reports, electronics such laptops,
cell phones, and music players are not banned.

* Anticipate that security screening will once
again be slow, and the lines will be long, so make
sure you allow plenty of time to pass through
security. You should plan to arrive, at the bare
minimum, two hours early and possibly even three
hours if traveling in the next few days.

* Neatly arranged carry-on bags with see-through
plastic or mesh organizers will make it easier
for TSA inspectors and speed the security process.

* Keep in mind that these rules are brand new and
initially may be interpreted or even
mis-interpreted by airport security personnel. As always,
have
patience with security personnel as they are
ensuring your safety.

* When packing your checked luggage, bear in mind
that luggage handlers are not as gentle as you
are when you carry-on. Be sure that all liquids are
in leak-proof containers.

* You may still decant liquids such as shampoo
from a large flip-top bottle into smaller
leak-proof travel bottles as long as they are in checked
luggage.

* To be doubly safe, place all liquid containers
in sealed zip-top bags or containers designed to
be leak proof.

* Be prepared to check your carry-on bag. Should
the United States follow the U.K.'s lead and,
even temporarily, ban carry-on luggage, be sure that
your carry-on bag is sturdy enough to be checked.
Until the new security policies are clearly
enforced, you may wish to avoid traveling with
valuables
in case you are required to check them.

* Contact your airline if you wish to change your
travel plans. Many airlines are temporarily
waving change fees.
