Hints - Travel - TSA Hints

Dear Readers: Not long ago, I was in Roswell, N.M., giving a speech about literacy for the Friends of the Roswell Public Library. Flying there and back, I put my netbook in my checked luggage, which was locked with a Transportation Security Administration-approved lock. When I got to the hotel, a note had been placed inside my netbook stating that my bag had been searched. On the way home, the bag had been thoroughly checked again. Here are a few hints from the TSA:

It is recommended that you not place any valuables or electronics in your checked baggage. No matter how well you pack them, they may get damaged or stolen.

The TSA has the right to remove and examine all contents. Placing the items in clear plastic bags lowers the chances of your personal items being handled.

TSA prefers that you place footwear on top of items in checked baggage, and spread out books and documents within your luggage. Don't stack them all together.

Make sure to use TSA-approved locks, and label each piece of luggage.

If you are uncertain of anything you might pack, visit www.tsa.gov or call [phone]. Safe travels!
