8 Essential TSA Tips for Summer Travel
| August 13, 2018
Be patient and polite
As frustrating as it is to have to wait in line, just remember that all those people who are waiting in line alongside you are just as eager to get to their destination as you are. Also try to remember that TSA agents are just doing their jobs and trying to protect passengers from potential danger. Try your best to be patient and polite to the people who are around you and processing you; getting angry with others won’t make the line move any faster, it will just make the wait less pleasant.
So don’t let the long lines get you down, just plan ahead and pack right and you’ll be cruising through airport security in no time. Book your seats, pack your bags, and get flying somewhere this summer!
