Security Checkpoint

• All travelers 18 years of age and over will be asked to show a valid government-issued photo ID (ie. driver's license, passport) during the ticketing process and at the security checkpoint.
• Only ticketed passengers are allowed beyond security checkpoint. If assisting an unaccompanied child, elderly person or special needs passenger, check with your airline to see if you qualify for a access pass to the gate.
• Families of military may accompany a departing and arriving military family member to the airline gate and can remain with them until they board their aircraft. Family members must receive a pass from the airline that the military member is flying. A pass and a photo ID is required to get through the security checkpoint. For more information, contact your airline.
• Passengers are limited to one carry-on bag and one personal item (briefcase, backpack, laptop computer or purse). All other items should be checked at the ticket counter, electronic kiosk or curbside.
• Electronic devices (including cell phones and pagers), keys, loose change and any other metal items should be placed inside your carry-on bag until you clear security.
• Laptop computers should be removed from carrying cases for screening. Trays are provided to protect your computer during screening.
• Outer coats and jackets must be removed and screened.
• TSA recommends passengers remove shoes for screening at the checkpoint. Many shoes contain metal in their construction and removing them prior to screening may save you from additional screening.
• No sharp objects of any kind will be permitted through security checkpoint. For a current list of permitted and prohibited items, visit the TSA website.
