One‑Stop Security Pilot
Pilot program allowing eligible international connecting passengers to bypass TSA re-screening.
Currently limited to American Airlines on Delta and Delta from London Heathrow.
All TSA checkpoints are supposed to have a private screening area for just such incidences and a "break room" is not one of them. You are also supposed to be treateed with dignity and respect. Most airports do so however the NY area airports are notorious for bad attitudes. Go to the TSA website and lodge your complaint there.
My mom is traveling to Paris from JFK on July 19. I have arranged for wheelchair assistance. Will I be able to go through security and to the gate and stay with her at the gate until she boards?
I am traveling on a last minute, emergency, first class flight from NYC to Los Angeles tonight. I have a temporary New York State drivers license that does not have a picture on it. To back it up I have a social security card, a birth certificate, an expired passport, an old drivers license, W-2 forms, proof of work in the US as a actress for television, my masters degree diploma from Columbia University, my electricity bill, and many other forms of proof that I am a legitimate citizen of the United States. I understand that by law, according to the TSA, it is not officially required to show a picture ID but that it is strictly enforced by airlines and airports. Is there any way for me to get an airport security ID or anything like that to get me on the plane tonight? how can I make that happne?

my daughter will be traveling from Dubai to JFK on Emirates airlines with 3 children under 5 (one 6 month old). Is there any way to hire an airport employee to help her thru TSA and to her connecting Delta flight. It is hard enough as one person in JFK from International to Delta !! there are no skycaps--- or have I just never seen any?? will Emirates be able to provide??
As a Canadian I've been flying thru the US my whole life with no problem, but now I need to transit thru JFK while I have a pending immigration & visa petition.
As long as I show that I intend only to pass thru (onward ticket, etc), will I have a problem at customs? I'm worried that I'll look suspicious, when in fact I'm going to Canada specifically to finish the application process... Thanks!
What would happen if I brought my Wii in my carry-on? Would there be a chance I wouldn't be able to take it with me(it's a normal wii, not a bomb)?If I put my phone on airplane mode, would I be able to listen to music from the windows media player on it?
You should be able to bring your Wii in you carry on, just be sure to take it completely out of your carry on and put it in a gray bin separately from your other items to go through the x-ray at security. Phones must not be in a send/receive mode in flight so airplane mode is a good thing.
I am traveling to Italy wednesday. Id like to bring my desktop computer is it ok to pack it in a suitcase and check it in as luggage?
We're going to be picking up a relative from Europe in a few weeks, she is a minor and doesn't speak English well. I called the airlines to ask if we could get a pass to meet her at the gate but they said that was impossible, no one is allowed through security without a ticket. In the past, at least on domestic flights, I've always been able to get a special pass to get through security when picking up a child. Have the rules changes, is this just because it's an international flight or did the guy on the phone get it wrong?
Last wednesday I flew from YFK to Caracas through San Juan, American Airlines flights 419 y 1375. When I arrieved home I notice that TSA opened one of my bags (ticket # 3001596662)and tooked out two motorcycle shocks I was bringing. TSA left me a note informing the searching but no information about how to proceed to request the restitution of my goods. Please give me information how should I do.
Thanks in advance,

I am helping a client traveling to England in July. She must take insulin, needles and an epipen onboard with her. What procedures will she need to follow to go through TSA security? Also, she has dietary restrictions and may not be able to find appropriate foods inside the terminal. Can she bring dry food in her carry on bag?
Dry food is allowed in carry-on, no liquids. Make sure she takes all medication; insulin, needles, epipen, etc. out of her carry-on and place these items in the gray bin separately from all other item. She should advise the TSA personnel that she has these items before placing the bin through the x-ray machine so they know what to look for on the x-ray image. They may need to do additional screening so be sure she has any medical documentation just in case.
I rencentlt travelled in and out of JFK airport while on vacation (I'm an Australian citizen) and was upset that 3 of my locks were taken even though they are the TSA, approved locks. Not only was my luggage left vulnerable for my trip but each lick cost ne $18. I have contacted my travel insurance company which will reimburse the locks as long as I can give them a report-letter from JFK airport to prove I have reported this incident. Can you please advise on this matter to my email as well?
Thank you
