How to Avoid the Dreaded TSA Pat Down
With word spreading of the potential horrors involved in the new TSA pat-downs, we’ve put together some tips to avoid having to do the pat-down. These tips come straight from the TSA blog itself:
1.Take EVERYTHING out of your pockets before you go through screening. You can put them in your carry-on bag if you’d like.
2.Don’t wear clothes with a high metal content.
3.Don’t wear heavy or thick metal jewelry pieces. You can put them in your carry-on bag and then wear them after you get through security.
4.And finally, don’t opt out of the scanners. Anyone who opts out of using the new body scanners is automatically going to get the pat-down.
Simple enough, right? We hope that by following these tips most people can avoid the uncomfortable TSA pat-downs. Of course, we also know that TSA is a bit inconsistent from one airport to another and following these rules may not be enough. However, TSA themselves says that this is what you should do so hopefully they are right this time.
