Question 7

How to get through airport security fast when traveling to Santa Monica

Accepted Answer

These useful tips and hints about airport security will save you lots of time on your trip to Santa Monica:

Make sure you know the whereabouts of your boarding pass and passport. You don't want to hold up the queue when you're asked to hand them over.
You'll need to stop the music for a short while. Headphones and earphones need to be removed and placed in a tray to be X-rayed. The same applies to items such as belts and heavy jackets.
Electronic goods such as laptops, cameras and phones need to be put through the X-ray machine separately. Be sure you can get to them quickly.
Hand cream, toothpaste and other toiletry items in liquid, gel or cream form need to be stored in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also fit in a 1-quart (1-liter) clear zip-lock bag.
Undo your shoelaces before approaching the body scanner. Depending on the sort of shoes you're wearing, security may tell you to remove them.
Some places have strict biosecurity laws. Consider where you're journeying to and whether or not you can travel with unpackaged foods.
