Your group chat has opinions. We have answers. Before you take travel advice from your cousin’s roommate’s boyfriend who last flew in 2019, go straight to the source. DM @AskTSA for answers to your questions before heading to the airport. Less bad information. More vacation.

Whether you’re traveling with a belly full of boiled eggs or a bag full of them, you’re cleared for take-off. Just remember, not every passenger is ready for an egg-cellent journey.

Birthplace of aviation. Home of rock ‘n roll. Serious football loyalty. Happy Ohio Day to our teams keeping travelers moving through the Buckeye State. Ohio takes flight. TSA helps keep the journey secure. Which Ohio airport do you think this is? ⬇️

Unfortunately, the “no drone zone” rules DO apply to flying broomsticks so let’s keep the sky sweeper turbo twig zoom broom away from the airport.

Where can you fly? Federal Aviation Administration has more on that here: faa.gov/uas/getting_started/…
Where Can I Fly?

Where Can I Fly?

Anyone flying a drone is responsible for flying within FAA guidelines and regulations. That means it is up to you as a drone pilot to know the Rules of the Sky, and where it is and is not safe to...

Howl-oween costumes that match a few of our fangtastic sniffers. They’re always seeking out paw-ranormal activity at the airport and special events to keep people safe. Happy Howl-oween!!!

There’s always more than a ray of hope to keep drones away from @MLB World Series events when TSA Federal Air Marshal C/UAS teams work alongside our @USCG partners. Don’t brew up trouble. Reckless drone use won’t fly. Violators risk fines, incarceration, and drone confiscation.

Doesn’t matter if they’re a bandit, candy security, a leprechaun, or a cat cosplaying as a TSA K9. DO NOT put your pet through the X-ray. We don’t need the jump scare!

Not a Marvel-ous idea in your carry-on bag. Adamantium-tally our SEA officers were amazed to see this image roll across their X-ray screen. Please pack all mutant blades in a checked bag.
