What happens if I bring a non-permitted item to a pre-board security screening checkpoint?
A number of options may be available to you if this situation arises: • If you have time before your flight, you may leave the pre-board screening checkpoint to consult with your air carrier to determine if the item can be safely placed in your checked baggage. Please note that you will need to be re-screened upon your return. • You can leave the pre-board screening checkpoint to consult with an airport authority representative as certain airports offer a service which enables passengers to mail the item back to their home or office. Please note that you will need to be re-screened upon your return. • You can leave the pre-board screening checkpoint to place the item in your vehicle or you can hand the item over to a family member or friend. Please note that you will need to be re-screened upon your return. • You can choose to abandon the item (please note that it will not be returned to you). • Finally, you can turn back from the screening checkpoint and not board your flight.
