Before you travel, be sure items you would like to bring are allowed to go through the security screening checkpoint.  TSA provides travelers a comprehensive list of items allowed and items that are prohibited from going through the checkpoint.   

You are allowed to bring a quart-sized bag of liquids, aerosols, gels, creams and pastes in your carry-on bag and through the checkpoint. These are limited to travel-sized containers that are 3.4 ounces or less per item. Placing these items in the small bag and separating from your carry-on baggage facilitates the screening process. 

Adult passengers 18 and over must show valid identification at the security checkpoint in order to travel.  Beginning May 7, 2025, if you plan to use your state-issued ID or license to fly within the U.S., make sure it is REAL ID compliant. If you are not sure if your ID complies with REAL ID, check with the Wisconsin DMV.

While going through the security checkpoint, you may consult a TSA officer about any concerns you  have during the screening process. You may provide the officer with a TSA notification card or other medical documentation to describe your condition. If you are traveling with supplemental oxygen, find guidelines and helpful tips here.  If you have other questions or concerns about traveling with a disability please contact TSA passenger support.
