  • Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. Be ready to adjust your mask for ID purposes when asked.
  • Rather than handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
