@AskTSA But they are the toy viral squishy dumplings

@AskTSA I’m going to visit my family, can I bring the viral dumplings thru?

@davidhlittle99 Hi, David! Blunt-tipped walking sticks are allowed through the security checkpoint. Those that are sharp-tipped aren't allowed and must be placed in checked bags. Please visit: tsa.gov/travel/securit…

@AskTSA can I bring these walking sticks as carry-on?

You can travel with one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish… but additional screening of your small finned friend and the water they are swimming in may be required. Arrive early, have a safe trip, and just keep swimming!

TSA PreCheck® Touchless ID is available to current TSA PreCheck travelers at select security checkpoints and airports.

We manage the security screening operations for flights within or departing the U.S. Since your flight originates from outside the U.S., we advise asking your airline for guidance on packing your items.

@AskTSA Travelling from uk to Denver next year for a 10 day trip. I am on high blood pressure meds, is there anything I need to do before travelling? Do I need a doctors note etc?

@eloiseclapp Thanks for the question! Stuffed animals are allowed in checked bags. We also advise reaching out to your airline as they set restrictions for the size, weight and number of items allowed.

@TSA if I want to travel with a large stuffed animal (approximately 3 feet high, 2 feet wide) can I check him in a black trash bag?

@Nicholette28805 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…

@JFKairport @TSA not JFK TSA agents all openly complaining and bitching about a private room check for a pet and the supervisor saying “I hate cats that’s why I am supervisor and can make others deal”. Incredibly unprofessional experience.

@IGetItGirl We take allegations of theft seriously. Pls file a claim; we'll fully investigate the issue. tsa.gov/travel/securit…

@TSA @TSA I’m 100% certain money was take from the side pocket of my bag in at approximately 9 am in Lane 6 in ATL I’m not certain at what point but I put the money w/my baggage claim ticket while in crate. My bag was looked at again after coming throughthe security barrier.

Thanks for the question! A nebulizer is allowed through security. It must be removed from its carrying case and placed in a separate bin for X-ray screening. Face masks/tubing may remain in the case. You may provide a clear bag to place the device through the X-ray. An officer may need to remove it to test for traces of explosives. Liquids associated with the nebulizer are exempt from the liquids rule and can be more than 3.4 ounces. However, at the checkpoint, the bottles of medically necessary liquid must be placed in a separate bin for X-ray screening.

@AskTSA Can I pack my kids Nebulizer (a.co/d/07BesMyW) on my carry-on bag?

@goodbye_yr2020 Thanks for reaching out! Thumbtacks are good to go in carry-on bags. Safe travels!

@TSA can you bring thumbtacks in a carryon bag?

@NeaPoulain Good morning! Hair dryers are allowed in carry-on bags.

@AndyPhalanx30 Generally, plug-in calf massagers are also allowed in carry-on bags. Please note however that even if an item is generally allowed, it may be subject to additional screening if it triggers an alarm during the screening process or poses other security concerns.

@AskTSA Would a plug in version of the same device, no battery, be a better option in carry on luggage. More generally accepted.

@AskTSA Can I wear calf massagers on the plane, I have cerebral Palsy, they are battery powered, and if not, can I put them in my carry on bag. It is this model, ALLJOY Cordless Calf Massager, Leg Massage for Circulation and Pain Relief, Rechargeable Calf Air Compression Massager with 2 Heat Levels 4 Modes 3 Intensities.

@TSA I am waiting on response or a number to call. I hope you take this theft complaint serous. It happened on Sunday 24 May at lane 6 at approximately 9 am.

@UKGirl_FLKeys We love hearing this! If you'd like to provide additional details, please visit: tsa.gov/contact-center…

Thank you @Alegiant11 , @TSA , @keyssheriff for all your kindness and help in getting my handicap mother checked in, through security, and to her gate. Your loving kindness was on full display today and it was beautiful. Thank you.

Breast milk and liquid formula are allowed in carry-on bags and can be more than 3.4 ounces per container. There's no limit on the total amount you may pack. You don't need to travel with your child to bring breast milk or formula through security. Inform our officers prior screening that you carry liquids in excess of 3.4 ounces. Screening these liquids may include bottle liquid scanners, Explosive Trace Detection, X-Ray, and Liquid Container Screening. For more info, please visit: tsa.gov/travel/tsa-car… The airlines regulate the size and number of items each traveler is allowed to bring on the plane. We recommend that you also contact your airline to determine which bags count towards your carry-on allowance.

@AskTSA Hi TSA, could I bring a small cooler with frozen breast milk bags, or how can I transport it? Thanks

@AskTSA - Your “gatekeeper” at BOS needs some education that a parent with Precheck AND Touchless ID is allowed to bring their minor child through with them. I showed both boarding passes and they refused to let me use the TouchlessID line. #learnthejob

You may bring medically necessary gels in carry-on bags. The containers can be over 3.4 ounces each. Although they don't need to be packed in your liquids bag, please let our officers know you have these items and place them in a separate bin for X-ray screening. For more info, please watch: youtube.com/watch?v=P1ebiv… If you're traveling internationally, we advise reaching out to the State Department and/or the Centers for Disease Control for guidance on traveling with medications. Foreign countries may have policies that differ from ours. You'll find helpful info at the following: travel.state.gov/content/travel… wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/page/tr…
