TSA Marks Milestone with Stronger Carry-on Screening at all U.S. Federal Airports

The TSA announced new rules April 12 on its official
website ahead of the summer tourist season.
The security agency will implement more stringent
screenings for all carry-on baggage.
TSA staff may now require passengers to remove
food, powdered items, or anything that obstructs
the X-ray machine's clear display of images.
Any item unable to be identified at a checkpoint
will be forbidden from entering the cabin.
TSA’s efforts to strengthen security measures
began in the summer of 2017.
As more stringent security inspections increase,
travelers will notice that procedures will
also take longer when leaving or entering
the United States.
Our security efforts remain focused on always staying ahead of those trying to do us harm and ensuring travelers get to their destination safely.
