Airport security lines can be intimidating, especially if you don\'t travel a lot and can\'t remember all the rules.
What\'s even more frightening is to start a metal detector or full
Body scanner and sent to secondary screening.
Here are some strategies to reduce the chances of being asked to abandon search: First, learn about general guidelines.
The belt and shoes must be removed and placed in the bin.
Try to avoid wearing a belt if possible.
If not, choose one that is light and easy to remove.

Before you get to x. ray machine.
Wear shoes that are easy to take off. Knee-

Save so much time!

The body scanner, as it will pick up any little thing you may carry, and if your pocket is not empty, you will be pulled aside for a secondary screening.
During my last vacation, I saw a man photographed in front of me because he didn\'t take the gas station receipt from the back pocket.
I found that the best strategy would be to put everything I usually have in my pocket into something I carry with me --
In addition to my photo ID and boarding pass, there is also in the bag.
I put these things in the bin with my shoes so I don\'t forget them.
