Use these tips to travel with confidence through the TSA checkpoint:
- Pack items you will need to remove during screening, such as snacks, in smaller bags.
- Leverage electronic boarding passes and electronic passports to minimize contact and expedite your journey.
- Travelers can bring up to 12 oz. of hand sanitizer through the security checkpoints. You will also find hand sanitizer stations available throughout the terminals.
- Passengers can wear facemasks during the screening process - though you may have to adjust your mask to confirm your identity.
- Terminal 2 passengers are encouraged to take advantage of a free program that allows you to reserve a time in the security line. MSP RESERVE puts passengers in control of their airport journey while providing the same high standard of security as all TSA lanes.
