If you're not sure what to expect from TSA this holiday season, you're not the only one.
This recently published article on the Seattle Times' website details the intricacies of modern-day airport security, including the many differences in security restrictions from airport to airport and person to person. It's always changing.
And these constant changes to the rules leave passengers wondering "who can bring what through security this time?" Then there's the new TSA pre-check program that allow some special travelers to go through the screening process with a new, separate set of rules.
Combine this with very recent and raw emotions stemming from the terrible incident at LAX, followed by a false report of a gunman just weeks later and people are overwhelmed, confused and maybe even a little frightened about security issues and airport emergencies this year.
While Americans are really good at facing their fears about terrorism, they're not always as patient as they are fearless.
So the best we can do this year is to expect the worst and hope for the best in the way of security delays! Good luck out there, travelers!
