Packing tips to zip through airport security a little faster

Between spring break and the impending summer break from school, families are busy planning getaways. For many, this involves shuffling the kids to the airport and through security.

Before you prep to fly your family anywhere, we suggest perusing the Transportation Safety Administration website for tips and tricks. It's a great resource to help you do a little prep work to make your travel a lot smoother.

Do's and Don'ts:

• Do not pack oversized electronics (laptops, full-size video game consoles, DVD players and video cameras that use cassettes) in your checked baggage when possible. However, please be advised that you will be required to remove these items from your carry-on bag and submit them separately for x-ray screening. Small electronics, such as iPods, can remain in your carry-on.

** Tamperseal Tip** Make sure you neatly wrap electronic wires and pack them neatly in your case. It will be easier for your TSA agent to inspect, and will help cause fewer hiccups in the security line.

• Prepare your 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag of liquids before arriving at the airport.

• Pack all your coats and jackets in your checked baggage when possible. All coats and jackets must go through the X-ray machine for inspection.

**Tamperseal Tip** Use a TSA Luggage Lock for your checked bags. It keeps your items safe, but can be opened by TSA agents' special keys.

• Do not wrap gifts. If a security officer needs to inspect a package, they may have to unwrap your gift. Please wait until you've reached your final destination to wrap gifts.

• Film. Undeveloped film should go in your carry-on bag. You will able to declare film that is faster than 800-speed to a transportation security officer for physical inspection to avoid being X-rayed.

Each year, tons of spring break mishaps happen to well-intentioned people. Stay safe no matter where you're staying by following these spring break safety tips:

Hotel/Motel -

• Don't leave valuables in your hotel or motel room.
• Use the buddy system when leaving the room for any reason.
