What is the new process for checking and screening checked baggage?
All checked luggage must be screened before being loaded onto any aircraft. Upon check-in at ticket counters, passengers will be given a boarding pass and directed to a nearby checked baggage screening station. Passengers will drop off bags and then wait in the airport main lobby until called to the passenger screening security checkpoints. Checked bags are screened by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and then placed onto the airline luggage conveyor loading system by airport staff. All checked bags are subject to inspection and may be opened. Passengers are asked not to lock their luggage. Locked bags may have to be forcibly opened. Cable or zip ties are recommended for securing luggage. Any luggage opened by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screeners will be resealed and a notice of inspection place inside the luggage.
