#TravelTip: Travelers are taking to the skies in record numbers, so plan to arrive at least 2 hours prior to your flight’s scheduled boarding time to allow enough time to park, navigate to the terminal, check luggage with the airline if needed & go through security screening.

If you own a #firearm, make sure it’s not in your carry-on.
“I didn’t know it was in there” or “I forgot it was in there” are not valid reasons to have a gun at our checkpoints. Don’t be the next person to be fined almost $15k.
