Wherever you go, bring a connection kit of the right power and phone adapters, a spare phone cord, and a spare Ethernet network cable or find out whether your hotel supplies them to guests Because Mexico shares the same electric current as the United States, you won t need any special adaptors or equipment other than what you d use at home

With the federalization of airport security, security procedures at US airports are more stable and consistent than ever Generally, you ll be fine if you arrive at the airport one hour before a domestic flight and two hours before an international flight; if you show up late, tell an airline employee and she ll probably whisk you to the front of the line Bring a current, government-issued photo ID such as a driver s license or passport Keep your ID at the ready to show at check-in, the security checkpoint, and sometimes even the gate (Children under 18 do not need government-issued photo IDs for domestic flights, but they do for international flights to most countries) In 2003, the TSA phased out gate check-in at all US airports And E-tickets have made paper tickets nearly obsolete Sometimes passengers with E-tickets can beat the ticket-counter lines by using airport electronic kiosks, where you can print your own boarding pass by inserting a credit card or frequent-flier card If you don t have luggage, you can simply proceed to the security checkpoint where you will present your passport Otherwise, an expedited line at the ticketing counter puts baggage claim tickets on your luggage and will either take the bags or direct you to a screening area where luggage is being collected With the new passport law in place for Mexico, many airlines require you to go to the ticketing desk so an agent can review your travel documents Call customer service of the airline that you will be traveling with to see if self check-in is available at your departure city Unfortunately, the convenience of curbside check-in is limited to domestic travel If you need assistance with your luggage, a bag handler can carry your bags to the ticketing counter for you Airport screeners may decide that your checked luggage needs to be searched by hand You can now purchase luggage locks that allow screeners to open and re-lock a checked bag with a special code or key if hand-searching is necessary For more information on the locks, visit wwwtravelsentryorg You can also look for Travel Sentry certified locks at luggage or travel shops and Brookstone stores (you can buy them online at wwwbrookstonecom) If you use something other than TSA-approved locks, your lock will be cut off your suitcase if a TSA agent needs to hand-search your luggage

Security checkpoint lines are getting shorter than they were during late 2001 and 2002, but some still get really backed-up especially during holidays and peak travel times If you have trouble standing for long periods of time, tell an airline employee; the airline will provide a wheelchair Speed up security by not wearing metal objects such as big belt buckles If you ve got metallic body parts, a note from your doctor can prevent a long chat with security screeners Keep in mind that only ticketed passengers are allowed past security, except for folks escorting passengers with disabilities or children Federalization has stabilized what you can carry on and what you can t The general rule is that sharp things are out, nail clippers, cigar cutters, knitting needles, and corkscrews are okay, and food must be passed through the X-ray machine Bring food in your carry on instead of checking it, because explosive-detection machines used on checked luggage have been known to mistake food (especially chocolate, for some reason) for bombs Travelers in the United States are allowed one carry-on bag, plus a personal item, such as a purse, briefcase, or laptop bag Carryon hoarders can stuff all sorts of things into a laptop bag; as long as it has a laptop in it, it s still considered a personal item Then, there s the liquid quandary You can bring liquids, gels, and aerosols in your carry-on luggage, but they are limited to 3-ounce travel sizes packed in a quart-sized, zip-top plastic bag Gallon-sized bags and foldover sandwich bags are not acceptable When you go through the security check you must remove this plastic bag from your carryon or personal item so it can be screened separately Certain types of liquids such as lighter fluid, fuels, and things of the like are prohibited On the other hand, certain liquids are not subject to these size limitations, such as breast milk and baby food when traveling with a small child; life-supporting liquids such as blood products; and prescription and certain over-thecounter medications like KY Jelly, eye drops, and saline solutions for medical purposes The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued a list of restricted items; check its Web site (wwwtsagov) for details
