Every holiday travel season, the TSA prepares its workforce of 50,000 Transportation Security Officers to ensure they provide a smooth holiday travel experience for travelers. Since this is during the busiest travel time of the year, the TSA wants to remind passengers of the security procedures in place and help travelers be prepared for security before they leave home.

For information on travel and security procedures, check out the TSA: Helpful Hints for Holiday Travelers page.There, you'll find content addressing The ‘Why’s’ Behind Security, the use of Advanced Imaging Technology, The 3-1-1 Policy for Liquids, Gels, and Aerosols, Using Family Lanes, Traveling with Food, and Traveling with Gifts and Snow Globes.
