Answer 3

The TSA has implemented the following changes to airport screening procedures, effective August 10, 2006. These procedures will remain in place as circumstances warrant.


NO LIQUIDS OR GELS OF ANY KIND CAN BE CARRIED ON THE AIRCRAFT.



Items that fall within this category include:



All beverages of any type in any size container, including bottled water.
Shampoo
Suntan lotion
Creams
Toothpaste
Hair gel
Other items of similar consistency
Such items may be transported in checked baggage.



Exceptions include:



Baby formula and breast milk, only if a baby or small child is traveling
Prescription medicine with a name that matches the passenger’s ticket
Insulin and essential other non-prescription medications

Please note that all of these approved items must be presented for inspection at the security checkpoint. Customers traveling from the U.K. to the U.S. should expect even more extensive screening processes.


Any beverages purchased in the boarding area (beyond the security checkpoint) must be consumed before boarding, as they will not be permitted on board the aircraft.


In light of these directives, passengers may experience delays at security checkpoints. Departing flights may also experience delays as a result. Please arrive two hours prior to scheduled departure time for domestic and international flights, and three hours prior to scheduled departure time for flights leaving the U.K.
