At the TSA checkpoints, travelers are required to remove watches, belts, take off their jackets, shoes, and place them in the TSA bins for the screening. Passengers are also asked to take away any electronic item that is larger than a cell phone, from their carry-on bags. Passengers are encouraged to organize their bags, remember the liquid, and restricted item's rules and pack their carry-on bag accordingly. These actions will make security wait times shorter.
