1. Avoid wearing metal or steel containing accessories, items, clothing, jewelry, money clips, belt buckles, keys, tin foil (gum wrappers), etc.. If you have keys, key chains, cell phones, etc that you have to take just make sure you have them all located in one area so you can take them out at once and place them in the container at the screening checkpoint
2. Avoid footwear that have metal or thick soles. Also make sure you are not wearing footwear that is hard to put on and take off cause you will have to remove them at the security checkpoint. The reason about the soles is because the TSA can screen your shoes for other purposes than just metal. This might be a precaution they take to make sure your not concealing anything in the shoes/boots
3. If you plan to travel during the holidays make sure you do not pre-wrap any presents. In some cases it is much smarter to ship them rather then bringing them on the flight with you as well as through the checkpoints. This will help you save a lot of time.
4. You should usually try to arrive at least one to two hours prior to departure if your flying domestic and between two to three hours if your flying international. Remember the worse thing that can happen is that you miss your flight in which case this will cause you major headaches and stress. its always better to arrive at the airport to early and wait then to miss a flight and be stuck for hours or days.
5. Avoid bringing items that are prohibited at the airport screening checkpoints. Things like pocket knives, water, to much fluids, lighters, etc.
6. Make sure you use your carry on luggage for your valuable stuff such as CPU, laptops, itouch, ipad, iphone, walkman, cd player, mp3 player, jewelry, camera, video camera, etc. It is always smart to put your medication in your carry on as well in case your luggage gets lost.
7. Make sure to label your personal contact information and or a business card on your luggage, carry on luggage, laptop, and other valuable stuff in case it gets misplaced.
8. The best trick or hint to Save Time is do not bring any carry on items or carry on luggage. If you do not have anything on your or you are traveling light, chances are you will fly right through the security airport checkpoints because there will be nothing to search on you.
