Following these tips will help you reduce your wait time at any security checkpoint.

Before the Airport

  • Do NOT pack or bring TSA prohibited items or FAA prohibited items to the airport.
  • Place valuables such as jewelry, cash, and electronics in carry-on baggage only. Tape your business card to the bottom of your laptop.
  • Avoid wearing shoes, clothing, jewelry, and accessories that contain metal. Metal items may set off the alarm on the metal detector.
  • Do not pack wrapped gifts and do not bring wrapped gifts to the checkpoint. Wrap on arrival or ship your gifts prior to your departure.

About Connecting Flights & Security 

Procedures upon arrival in ORD are different depending on if you have checked your luggage or simply have carry-on. If your luggage is checked through to your final destination , or you only have carry-on luggage, you will not have to worry about claiming any luggage or going through screening again. If you do however have to leave the secure area for any reason, such as claiming a checked bag, you will be resubmitted for screening by TSA.
