Website Wednesday – TSA.gov

I don’t often recommend offical goverment websites, as they are often long on the official and short on the helpful.

However, in planning our first ever family vacation where we’ll be flying, I’ve found the Transportation Security Administration’s site to be quite useful.  You’ll find the section for travelers here:

http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/index.shtm

Here you’ll find:

  • New Security Measures for Passengers Traveling to the U.S.
  • Traveling with Food or Gifts?
  • How to Get Through the Line Faster
  • Liquid Rules: 3-1-1 for Carry-Ons
  • Acceptable Identification at the Checkpoint
  • Prohibited Items
  • Travelers with Disabilities & Medical Conditions
  • Traveling with Children
  • Traveling with Special Items

No, you cannot bring your machete on board the plane, but neither can you bring cranberry sauce or maple syrup.  Go figure.
