After the 9/11 attacks traveling became very stressful due to the new safety precautions which have to take place.Aside from the fact that all of these procedures take time,patience and cooperation from both sides, all travelers know that these rules have to be followed in order to have a safe and secure flight.
Passengers must:
•Place all carry one baggage and any items you are carrying with you on the belt of the X-ray machine. You will need to lay all items flat.
•Place all metal items in your carry-on baggage before you reach the front of the line.
•Take your computer and video cameras with cassettes out of their carrying case and place it in one of the bins provided.
•Take off your coat or jacket so that it can go through the X-ray machine. This includes, but is not limited to, trench coats, heavy winter coats, suit jackets, sport coats and blazers.
•You are required to remove your shoes before you enter the walk-through metal detector. All types of footwear must be screened; if you do not follow the Security Officers you will not be able to board your flight.
•You will next walk through a metal detector, (or you may request a pat-down inspection instead). Objects on your clothing or person containing metal may set off the alarm on the metal detector.
•Additional screening which occurs when an individual sets off the alarm on the metal detector, or if he or she is selected for the additional screening. This screening includes a hand-wand inspection in conjunction with a pat-down inspection that includes the torso.
•Your bag will be opened and examined on a table in your presence. You luggage might also be inspected with an Explosive Trace Detection machine (ETD), which is separate from the X-ray machine.
