Security Procedures
You are to remove ALL coats and place them in the X-ray. This includes suit and sport coats, athletic warm-up jackets and blazers. If the coat or jacket is used as the innermost layer of clothing, you do not need to remove it.
A more extensive pat down will be conducted if you alarm the metal detector or are referred to additional screening. Transportation security officers will verbalize the process as they conduct the inspection. You may also request a private screening.
New security regulations affecting checked baggage went into effect in 2002. The new regulations require the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to screen 100 percent of checked baggage. The airlines, TSA and Hartsfield-Jackson work together to make the process as efficient as possible.
Passengers are advised to arrive 90 minutes prior to their scheduled flight departure to ensure that they have enough time to check their baggage and go through the screening process.
The TSA requests that all passengers leave their checked baggage unlocked to avoid having transportation security officers forcibly unlock their luggage should it require inspection.
For additional security information, passengers are encouraged to visit the
Transportation Security Administration's Web site for traveling tips for passengers.
