Don’t Wear Belts
To arrive at your destination with the least amount of trouble and effort possible is the aim of the entire airport experience. Wear an outfit without a belt if you want to look like a true travel pro. You will speed up the security checkpoint process by doing this. You should avoid fumbling with the TSA’s requirements to take them off when you may just choose to leave them at home. The TSA forbids wearing belts because of the buckles, which nearly invariably trigger metal detectors. Even though a plastic belt won’t trigger the scanners, the TSA will still ask you to take it off if they see it because it’s not always clear which is which.
Place Your Jewelry In Ziploc Bags
In fact, the TSA strongly advises on its website that you pack your jewelry in your carry-on bag. Both are allowed, but if your jewelry is priceless or personal, you should bring it with you in case your checked luggage goes missing (an all-too-common occurrence). Put each piece of jewelry in its own transparent one-quart Ziploc bag. This will decrease the likelihood that the TSA will pull your bag away and search for it and make it easy for them to scan it. If you’re concerned that other passengers will see your valuables, the TSA advises that you ask an agent to inspect your belongings in private.
