Our new MyTSA App (Available as an iPhone App or Mobile Web App) amongst other great features has a “Can I Bring My…” tool. You can type in the name of the item you’re curious about and it will tell you if the item is permitted or not. If it’s not included in the list, you have the option of submitting it to us for addition. We even added “tatting shuttle.” Yep, we had to Google it too and they are permitted)
Here are a few tips to keep in mind when using “Can I Bring My…”
- Don’t type the brand name of the deodorant – but do type if it’s roll-on or stick.
- Don’t type “food” – type what type of food – brownie, Jell-o, apple, pudding. Food is too generic.
- Type “disposable razor,” not “2 disposable razors”
And sorry, the tool doesn’t give answers for mother-in-law, screaming child, wife, or ex-husband.
