Follow these tips to make the screening process less stressful and more efficient for everybody:

• Tag your carry-on and checked baggage with your contact information.
• Give yourself plenty of time to get through pre-board screening, especially during peak travel periods (early morning, noon, and early evening).
• Leave empty baggage carts outside of the screening checkpoint.
• Have your boarding pass ready to present for verification.  You may need to show photo identification. At some airports, the validation of your boarding pass will be done automatically by a scanner.
• NEVER joke or make “small talk” about bombs, firearms or other weapons while going through pre-board screening – you could be charged with an offence under the Canadian Aviation Security Regulations.
• Understand what to expect during a physical search.
