At the Airport

• Watch your bags and personal belongings at all times.
• Do not accept packages from strangers.
• If you see unattended bags or packages anywhere in the airport terminal or parking area, immediately report them to a security officer or other authority.
• Report any suspicious activities or individuals in the airport or parking lot to airport security.
• Don’t joke about having a bomb or firearm. Don’t discuss terrorism, weapons, explosives, or other threats while going through the security checkpoint. The mere mention of words such as "gun," "bomb," etc., can compel security personnel to detain and question you. They are trained to consider these comments as real threats.
