To prepare for the busy end-of-summer travel season, the TSA is warning travelers against bringing certain banned items through security.
In order to allow for easier travel during the end-of-the-summer surge, TSA added an alert in its release to remind passengers to"pack smart."
"Travelers should be aware of the contents of their carry-on bags prior to leaving home. Ensure that carry-ons do not contain prohibited items since they slow down the security screening process," the agency advised. With that in mind, TSA is warning about two prohibited items that could trip people up right now: fireworks and fuel canisters. And unlike some of the other things you just can't take through security, these two items are banned from being brought through the airport at all.
"TSA is reminding all travelers that fireworks don't fly—in carry-on or checked luggage. Fireworks are never allowed on an aircraft, so please don't bring them to the airport," the agency warned."In addition, fuel canisters frequently used by campers and other outdoor enthusiasts are flammable and not allowed in carry-on or checked luggage."It's not just fireworks and fuel canisters you need to worry about.
"If a traveler brings liquids in quantities larger than 3.4 ounces, TSA will have to conduct a bag check, which slows the screening process for that traveler and everyone in line behind them," the agency cautioned."Any liquids in quantities larger than 3.4 ounces should travel in checked baggage."
