@evil___e Passengers can now keep their shoes on at TSA security checkpoints. However, you may be required to remove your shoes if an alarm occurs during the screening process or as part of our unpredictable security measures.

@TSA can yall just decide whether we keep our shoes on or not

“It’s not on your website” Oh, ok... apologies, we didn’t realize you were going to bring part of a FIRE HYDRANT to the airport.

The locked container may be checked alone or be placed inside another checked bag. Ammunition must be properly packaged & may be included within the same hard-sided locked case. Please visit: tsa.gov/travel/transpo… Tasers must also be packed in checked bags. Since some airlines don't allow them on the plane, we recommend that you also check w/ your airline before you travel. Pls visit: tsa.gov/travel/securit…

@AskTSA hey, my dad is a current police officer and he’s traveling to work! Could he wear in uniform and bring his taser and gun Thur if he is a cop? He’s flying from FLL- ATL- LAS

The entire item must be placed in a single, quart-sized, zip-top bag w/ other travel-sized liquids, gels and aerosols. To learn more, please visit: tsa.gov/travel/securit…

@dspayne97 Please contact the TSA Contact Center at 866-289-9673 or TSA-ContactCenter@tsa.dhs.gov for information about your TSA PreCheck® disqualification/suspension. Representatives will be able to provide you with guidance as it relates to your particular case.

Hi @AskTSA, I’m a Global Entry member and previously had TSA PreCheck (KTN 995460586). I accidentally traveled with a firearm in my carry-on, paid the civil penalty. I understand my PreCheck was suspended. Can you confirm when that suspension ends, and must reapply once it’s over

As of February 1, 2026, if you don’t have an acceptable ID, you can pay a nonrefundable $45 fee for TSA ConfirmID to try to verify your identity. To avoid delays or missing your flight, you should pre-pay the fee before arriving at the airport. The fee lets you use TSA ConfirmID for 10 days from the date of travel listed on the receipt. Please visit: tsa.gov/tsaconfirm-id

@AskTSA If your Drivers license is expired how do you get on a plane? Sorry, they are not an illegal so they won't just board them without ID. As an American citizen, they have to follow rules. What are they?

To receive TSA PreCheck as a member of a DHS trusted traveler program, please include your 9-digit PASS ID in the "Known Traveler Number" field of your reservation.

Liquid, creamy or spreadable food items must be in containers that are 3.4oz or less. The containers must be placed in your quart-sized bag with other travel-sized liquids, gels and aerosols. Larger sizes and quantities must be packed in checked bags. See details at: youtube.com/watch?v=ApD2hR… Since you're traveling internationally, we recommend that you also reach out to the customs agency at your destination to ensure these items are allowed into the country.

Hey @TSA can I fly international with a couple of this bad boys in my carry on?

@dingleDorf1111 We take your concerns about screening seriously. Please provide additional details so we can look into this further. To do so, please visit: tsa.gov/contact-center…

@TSA your employees at Miami are consistently the most rude of any place I’ve ever been.

@YESSE_BD Please reach out to the Department of Transportation for guidance on filing a complaint. Visit: transportation.gov/airconsumer/co…

It’s been almost a month since @BreezeAirways lost my luggage on my BDL–JAX flight. I’ve filed my claim and followed up several times, but I still have no updates or resolution. Please help. @BradleyAirport @JAXairport #LostLuggage @AskTSA

@Swimming_Poolee Thanks for asking! Dash cameras are allowed in carry-on and checked bags. Please remove all personal electronic devices larger than a cell phone and place them in a bin for X-ray screening. For more info, please watch: youtube.com/watch?v=u2qCGs…

@AskTSA can dash cameras be packed in checked bags or do they have to go in carry ons???

Thanks for the question. Temporary/paper IDs aren't accepted at the checkpoint. As of May 7, 2025, all individuals 18 years of age and older must have a REAL ID-compliant ID, which is a state-issued driver’s license, state-issued identification card, or another acceptable form of ID, such as a U.S. passport, when arriving at the airport security checkpoint. Those who present a state-issued identification that is not REAL ID compliant at TSA checkpoints and who do not have another acceptable alternative form of ID may attempt to establish their identity using TSA's modernized alternative identity verification system, TSA ConfirmID: tsa.gov/tsaconfirm-id

@AskTSA can I get a visitors pass with my real id temporary paper version

Great question! Solid foods, including bagels, are allowed in carry-on bags with no quantity limitations. Cream cheese must be in containers that are 3.4oz or less. The containers must be placed in your quart-sized bag with other travel-sized liquids, gels and aerosols. Larger sizes and quantities must be packed in checked bags. See details at: youtube.com/watch?v=ApD2hR…

@AskTSA can bagels and schmears be brought on as a carry on item?

@CaymanRavi TSA PreCheck® is available on participating airlines when departing from U.S. airports to a location outside the country, for domestic, connecting flights after you return to the U.S., and U.S.-bound flights from Nassau. Pls see: tsa.gov/precheck/faq

@AskTSA Hi My known traveler number is 151026235. I am traveling from Grand Cayman to Charlotte on American airlines today. Unfortunately the TSA pre check is not appearing on the boarding pass. My global entry approval was recent. Is this the reason?

@DMillersMx We're happy to hear it! Please tell us more about your experience by completing this brief online form: tsa.gov/contact-center…

Heading to Guadalajara today. By far the best check in and @TSA experience I’ve had in months. Thanks @Delta, @LASairport and @TSA for a perfect pre board!

Our team @AskTSA won’t be able to tell you the definition of offsides or whether it’s called fùtbol, football, or soccer. But they can answer your travel questions. Simply text “GOAL” to 275-872 to get started.

@jordanmcvey_ Pls click the link below to DM your full name, KTN, trusted traveler program, airline, confirmation number, flight number, departure airport and travel date. We'd be happy to look into this for you. x.com/messages/compo…

@TSA what’s up with your system not letting my Pre+ go through when I get to the airport 😭 tried the day before to call, tried the American desk, was sent to Pre+ and now having to wait in standard 🫠

Thanks for the question. You may use TSA ConfirmID multiple times within a 10-day period and won’t be required to pay an additional fee during this time. However, you will have to complete the identity verification process for each attempt to enter the security checkpoint without an acceptable form of ID.
