Just yesterday, we learned of an attempted terrorist attack on Christmas Day on a Delta flight returning from Europe. Because of this incident security may change & become tighter. How to navigate these new waters of going through security at the airport will be challenging & require more patience as the government sort this out & decide what new measures to add. However, there are some things the average traveler can do to ease the process. For starters they can pack in layers. This makes it easier for TSA to inspect your bag, & for you to put it back together again. Pack in clear plastic any small amounts of liquid, or use zip lock bags. Limit all jewelry.  Don't  carry certain foods like jelly, sauce, or syrup. If your traveling with kids go through the family friendly lines. Also, as you reach near the front of the lines start taking off your belt, watches, & shoes. Don't wait into you get to the very front of the line to do this. One final thing, allow uniform crew members to cut in front of the lines. With out them, everything grinds to a stop. Happy Safe Flying & A Happy New Year!
