TSA implements dedicated security lines for families

Travelers celebrated the suggestion that American airports might soon ease restrictions on liquids in carry-on bags that create endless hassles at security checkpoints, but more than a third of all airports around the country still haven’t upgraded their screening systems to reliably detect liquid explosives that could bring down a plane.
U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said priority TSA lines for families could be coming soon at Nashville International Airport.
While shoes can now stay on at airport security, the following items still need to be removed from your body or luggage: Additionally, any carry-on liquids, gels and aerosols still must abide by the "3-1-1" rule: It is also important to empty miscellaneous items from your pockets, such as keys and wallets.
Current policy allows travelers to bring liquids in 3.4-ounce containers or smaller. Those containers must go in a quart-sized bag. Anything bigger must be put in checked bags. Noem did not give details as to if or when revisions might be made. Last week, the Department of Homeland Security announced plans to end the TSA’s shoes-off policy.
