Effective today, Sept. 26, 2006, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will adjust its airport security screening procedures as follows:

1) Pre-Screening - Passengers may carry travel-size toiletries (3 ounce or less) that fit comfortably in ONE quart-size, clear plastic, zip-top bag through the security checkpoints.

2) Post-Screening - Passengers may bring items, including beverages and duty-free items, purchased in the secure gate area on-board the aircraft.

According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the U.S. is working to align its policies with those found in Canada and Europe, but some differences may currently exist. Details can be found at: http://www.tsa.gov/press/happenings/9-25_updated_passenger_guidance.shtm
