Unpack all edibles
Anyone who frequents the Denver International Airport can confirm that the TSA officers who work there were telling passengers to take all their food items out of their carry-on bags and put them into bins and bowls. Those who failed to do so were subjected to having their carry-ons being pulled aside for enhanced screening. This procedure can add an average of half an hour to a person’s wait time.
Books
Don’t stress, fellow bibliophiles and rapid readers! Books are not banned. You might have to take them out of your carry-on and put them in a bin though for closer inspection. TSA staffers might quickly fan through each book’s pages in order to check for anything that might be hidden. Additionally, if you’re packing several books that might impede screening, you might as well take them out and put them into a bin prior to inspection.
