Don't Forget These Travel Tips to Summer Travelers
By Stephanie Andre
RISMEDIA, June 1, 2010--In anticipation of the summer travel season, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) have joined efforts to provide travel tips to summer travelers.
Here are tips to keep in mind before heading out this summer:
-- U.S. citizens traveling abroad must have approved travel documents when returning home.
-- As the busy summer travel season approaches, TSA reminds travelers to be prepared and plan ahead for security. Passengers who are prepared for the security process can streamline the process overall at the checkpoint.
-- Since the attempted terrorist attack on Christmas Day, TSA has accelerated its deployment of Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) and expanded the use of Explosive Trace Detection (ETD) technology.
-- Passengers should be prepared to encounter security measures that could occur on a random basis at various locations in the airport environment. This could include the use of ETD to screen carry-on \items and hands-as well as explosives detection canine teams, bottled liquid screening technology, behavior detection officers, and AIT.
-- Passengers can help speed up the screening process by packing their carry-ons in an organized manner. This helps our officers efficiently see what's inside to quickly process it through screening.
-- Existing procedures like 3-1-1 and removing shoes and laptops for screening remain in place.
-- TSA has Family Lanes at every security checkpoint which are designed for passengers with special needs of those who may need more time to process through the security checkpoint.
Remember these three simple steps for security:
-- Have your ID and boarding pass out and ready
-- Take off shoes and jackets
-- Take out liquids (in a baggie) and laptops

The key word here is passengers. Drive or take other public transportation and you won't be subjected to these "rules." I quite flying years ago because it's such an expensive pain.
