The Alabama Department of Homeland
Security reiterates the message from the Transportation Security Administration
(TSA) today highlighting security procedures ahead of the busy holiday travel
period and reminds travelers about the steps they can take to be prepared for
airport security.
Over the past year, TSA has
implemented a number of new risk-based security measures that enhance the
passenger experience at airports across the country.
TSA has implemented TSA Pre✓™, anexpedited prescreening
initiative for known travelers and active duty service members at select
airports, and modified procedures for screening passengers 12 and under, 75 and
older and airline crewmembers to reduce, although not eliminate, the need for a
pat-down.
Holiday Travel Tips
Remember 3–1–1 for carry-on luggage for non-exempt liquids: 3
ounce bottle or less for all liquids, gels and aerosols; placed in a 1
quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag to hold all small bottles; 1 bag per
passenger.
Do not travel with wrapped packages. In order to determine if the
contents of a package are a threat, a security officer may need to unwrap and
inspect the item.
TSA allows small snow globes in carry-on luggage when packed in a
passenger's plastic 3-1-1 bag. Snow globes that appear to contain less than 3.4
ounces (approximately tennis-ball size) will be permitted if the entire snow
globe, including the base, is able to fit in the same one clear, plastic,
quart-sized, re-sealable bag as a passenger's other liquids.
Food items such as pies and cakes are permitted, but may require
further inspection. If travelers are not sure if a food item is considered a
liquid or gel it is best to pack the item in checked baggage or ship it to a
destination in advance.

DHS also reminds the public of its "See Something, Say Something" campaign in
regards to suspicious activity reporting during the holiday travel season. Law
enforcement relies upon citizens to report suspicious activity to deter and
disrupt terrorism or other criminal activities. For more information on
what activity is deemed suspicious, go to the Alabama Fusion Center website, fusion.alabama.gov under the "Public
Awareness" tab or http://fusion.alabama.gov/Public-Awareness.aspx
