I have searched here for info on breast milk and just want to feel a bit more confident about what i have read..

Is frozen breast milk preferred and easier to go through TSA with?

if frozen- are the breast milk plastic bags okay? thats all ive ever froze in.

If milk is not frozen- from my understanding rather in a clear container...Is a glass bottle okay?

If not frozen- then the milk will be tested?

and firstly let the agents know of the milk as soon as i see one when i am about to be checked/scanned

*thanks in advance*

TSA) quietly updated its website in late April. The agency now explicitly states that “medical marijuana” is permitted under “special instructions.”

So, I recently lost my wallet, which contained my state ID and my real ID. I have a flight scheduled for Saturday. However, I do have my state ID saved on my Apple Wallet. I’m curious if I can simply bring my Social Security card, mail and state medical care if that would suffice since I’m flying domestically out of LAX. I also paid for the ConfirmedID.

My Service Dogs have a specific diet and I travel with them when I drive. I want to try to start flying with them now. Part of their meal is chicken breast, which I am hoping to get canned so I can fly with them. I also have wet canned dog food as part of their meal too, as well as canned green beans. If I cannot take these items in my carry on so I can be guaranteed it gets to my destination and I can feed my dogs, can I put it in regular checked luggage? Edit: I specified Service Dogs in case it makes a difference.

I read the news that TSA Gold+ is going to roll out and over 250 small airports are going to adopt this new program based on the 2027 budget. TSA Gold+ is basically TSA runs by private contractors and therefore the employees would no longer get the same wages and benefits. I also read somewhere that one of the biggest TSA private contracting companies is a big GOP donors.....what do you all think about this?? This post is not above politics...just want to gauge what everyone's reaction is because it seems like they are trying to get rid of our federal benefits since we will no longer be federal employees...with the way DOGE firing everyone last year, I now feel like everything is possible.....

I lost my ID recently and a new one won’t arrive in time. I keep seeing a bunch of different answers on google. What kind of information should I bring to help them verify my identity. I have an old school id, mail, bank files, birth certificate, ssn. I fly out in a few days and I absolutely cannot miss this, please help!

Hoped to get more info on the $45 ConfirmID requirements. My mom has a terminal illness so I’m taking her on one last vacation, but then found out she had never obtained a real ID because she never expected to fly again.

I paid the $45 for confirmID, but wondered if anyone can tell me how it works once we get to the airport. I plan to bring her ID card, Social Security card, birth certificate, and proof of residence in the form of a letter from my employer (because we live in employee housing and have a post office box on our ID cards.) Is there anything I’m forgetting that might make this easier for us and TSA? Do we just go to security and flash the receipt or do we stop by at TSA office when we arrive at the airport? What will the process look like at security?

Thanks for any info you can provide!!

Hi y'all, does the carry-on medical liquids bag have to be a particular size?

Also, do I need to show a prescription label for everything I put in there? I was wondering if I could slip my (non-prescription, but doctor recommended) eyedrops and mouthwash in the bag with my prescription creams. TIA!

I’m an airline pilot and I flew out of SRQ (Sarasota FL) and witnessed a contracted security checkpoint for the first time.

Grey shirts, not TSA agents. Some of my crew said this was also a practice at SFO.

What’s up with that? I didn’t know that was a thing or allowed.

Im 18 and am traveling with my school team to another state i want to being my nicotine vape with me how would i best do this?

I dumped out my purse earlier and when I went to organize everything tonight I can’t find my ID. Should I just cancel my flight if I can’t find it by the morning ?

I’m on testosterone and I want to know where to put it in my bag if it shows up on the scanner and they want to look at it cause I’m on the gel so there’s no needles or vials in my bag. It’s just like a lotion bottle essentially and in big letters, it says testosterone gel. Well I get stopped if they see it on the scanner? I’m only flying with a carry on and the box it’s in has my prescription sticker on it.

Anyone have new info on the new screening machine at LAX terminal 3. Seems like more false positives?

It's the one where you put your arms down.

First time traveling without tsa precheck since it is taking so long to have my married name switched over and I’m dreading it. It’s been so many years since I’ve travelled without tsa precheck I barely remember what it was like. My daughter and husband will have no problems. We are leaving the baby at home with the grandparents for a quick 2 night trip with my daughter and my baby is exclusively breastfed so I will be pumping around the clock. I will literally have pumped milk from the drive to the airport to bring through my departing flight. I’m not sure if I will be able to freeze my milk from the trip but I can certainly try if the freezer in the hotel is big enough. What is the best way to get through security with the liquid milk? I have these breast milk bags. They are clear with some branding on them. I have clear containers too but not enough for all the milk I will have to bring back with me. I’m guessing probably 60-90oz coming back. I feel overwhelmed not having the precheck and my 5 year old who has it via my husband will likely want to stay in line with me instead. Any advice on the breast milk/ pump with no baby?

Rod will be telescopic so it folds down to about a foot long, and all my lures and hooks and sharp pointy things, probably a pair of pliers too, will be inside checked luggage. Going to Puerto Rico and wanted to do some fishing down there. Just wanna know what I can and can’t bring through the airport. TIA
