Millions of holiday travelers are on the move, but not everyone is packing their patience. That’s especially true for those antsy travelers whose airport antics end up getting them arrested.
With more than 3 million Americans traveling by plane this Thanksgiving, according to AAA, it’s a good time to review what types of behavior aren’t going to fly when you’re dealing with the TSA. Not following the rules can ruin your holiday plans.
After you pack your bags and before you get to the airport, take a minute to review this “won’t-fly” list:
Dealing with TSA officers may be a bit frustrating at times, but try to show respect and be polite. Still, remember that TSA agents aren’t police officers. They can deny you entrance to the airport, but they can’t arrest you or detain you for longer than necessary to call police.
If you do get arrested at an airport or run into other legal turbulence this holiday season, take notes about your experience and share them with your attorney. Don’t check your legal rights along with your bag.
