Pre-board Screening

What to expect at the Search Points:

• Remember to take all of your belongings with you when leaving the pre-board screening checkpoint area.

Passengers Arrival at Security Search Points

• Show your Valid Ticket & Identification

Passengers should have adequate time to check baggage and move through security Points. On the late arrival of passenger, Security staff will not be responsible for delay.

Pets

• Please remove all animals from their carrying cases and send the case through the X-ray machine. Hold your pet in your arms and proceed through the metal detector.

Children

• Take infants and children out of baby carriers and strollers and take them through the metal detector. • Strollers and baby carriers will go through the X-ray machine with your bags.

Think Before You Speak

Film

• Undeveloped film should go in carry-on bags. Passengers will be able to declare film that is faster than 1000-speed to Airports Security Force (ASF) for physical inspection to avoid being X-rayed.

Hidden Disabilities

Persons with a hidden disability can, if they choose, advise Security Officers that they have a hidden disability and may need some assistance, or need to move a bit slower than others.

Medications

All medications in any form or type (for instance, pills, injectable, or homeopathic) and associated supplies (syringes, Sharps disposal container, pre-loaded syringes, jet injectors, pens, infusers, etc.) are allowed through the security checkpoint once they have been screened.

You must request a visual inspection before the screening process begins; otherwise your medications and supplies will undergo X-ray inspection.

If you would like to take advantage of this option, please have your medication and associated supplies separated from your other property in a separate pouch/bag when you approach the Security Officer at the walk-through metal detector.

Request the visual inspection and hand your medication pouch/bag to the Security Officer.

In order to prevent contamination or damage to medication and associated supplies and/or fragile medical materials, you will be asked at the security checkpoint to display, handle, and repack your own medication and associated supplies during the visual inspection process.

Any medication and/or associated supplies that cannot be cleared visually must be submitted for X-ray screening. If you refuse, you will not be permitted to carry your medications and related supplies into the sterile area.
