到機場後At the Airport
• 早點到，報到時就不用怕大排長龍時，趕不上班機

• 沒有證明的水果、蔬菜、花卉或植物，無法通關，會被海關沒收
• 一旦辦理好班機報到手續，就必須經過安全掃描檢查，需要把登機證和識別証先準備好
有小朋友同行Traveling with Children
• 每個人包括嬰兒，都要個別接受安全的掃描檢查，但是不會要求家屬跟小朋友分開
• 從事掃描的服務人員，會特別小心謹慎處理孩童
• 告訴你的寶貝，掃描一點都不可怕，告訴他掃瞄是為了防止壞人
• 告訴小朋友，他們的袋子會從另一邊出來，歸還給他們
• 讓小朋友知道，服務人員可能會要求檢查父母的鞋子，但是檢查後會歸還

常見問題集 Travel Tips - Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are Permitted and Prohibited Items?

A: Prohibited items are weapons, explosives, incendiaries, and items that are seemingly harmless but may be used as weapons - the so-called "dual-use" items.

Q: How early should I arrive at the airport?

A: Check with your airline or travel agent to determine how early to arrive at the airport. Recommended check-in times differ by airline/airport and change during peak travel times.

Q: How should I pack before my flight?

A: There are different restrictions on what you can pack in your carry-on vs. your checked baggage. All of your baggage will be screened and possibly hand-searched as part of the new security measures.

Note: Each passenger is allowed 2 pieces of checked baggage. Weight restrictions are 50 pounds if you are flying domestically and 70 pounds if you are flying internationally.

Note: Each passenger is allowed 1 personal item and 1 carry on bag.

Q: What do I need to know if I am a Traveler with a Disability or Medical Condition?

A: In order to assist persons with disabilities or medical concerns, TSA has developed guidelines with input from various groups and have trained our airport screeners in the methodology needed to ensure secure and comfortable screening at all Security Checkpoints. Please refer to the Persons with Disabilities & Medical Concerns section of the TSA website.

Checked Baggage Q's and A's:
Q: Should I lock my luggage?

A: In some cases screeners will have to open your baggage as part of the screening process. If your bag is unlocked then TSA will simply open and screen the baggage.

However, if you decide to lock your checked baggage and TSA cannot open your checked baggage through other means, then the locks may have to be broken.

TSA suggests that you help prevent the need to break your locks by using a TSA recognized locking mechanism. TSA is not liable for damage caused to locked bags that must be opened for security purposes.

Q: Will TSA relock my bag if it is opened for screening?

A: TSA's highly trained screeners will take great care to secure your bag if they need t open it for screening. If your bag has a TSA recognized locking mechanism, and TSA opens your locked bag, they will re-lock the bag after the screening process.

Security Checkpoints Q's and A's:
Q: What should I expect at the Security Checkpoint?

A: The Passenger Security Checkpoint includes three (3) primary steps you may want to become familiar with. Step 1 is the X-ray machine. Step 2 is the Walk-through metal detector and Step 3 is Secondary Screening. Please refer to the TSA website under Passenger Security Checkpoints for more information.

Q: What documents are needed to pass through a Security Checkpoint?

A: You will need Identification and at most airports, a boarding pass to pass through a Security Checkpoint. For more details on Identification and how to obtain a boarding pass, please see Access Requirements for more information.

Q: What may happen to me if I bring a prohibited item to a security checkpoint?

A: If you bring a prohibited item to the checkpoint you may be criminally and/or civilly prosecuted or at the least asked to rid yourself of the item. Please refer to the TSA website List of Permitted & Prohibited Items for more information.

Q: What may happen to my prohibited item at the security checkpoint?

A: Some Prohibited Items may be detained for use in an investigation and if necessary as evidence in your criminal and/or civil prosecution. Others may be surrendered as detailed in the TSA list of Permitted & Prohibited Items on the website.

Q: Can I access the gate area if I am not a passenger?

A: Yes. There are instances where it will be necessary to accompany a passenger through the Security Checkpoint. Instances of this can be found on the Access Requirements web page. However ticketed and screened passengers are normally the only people allowed in the gate areas.
