Baggage Screening in the United States

All commercial airports throughout the United States began implementing new U.S. entry and exit checked baggage regulations on January 1, 2003, for all U.S. commercial airports. You will no longer have access to your baggage after it has been checked by the authorities. Please take out all essential items that need to be carried on before your baggage is handed over for inspection.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) recommends that passengers leave their bags unlocked for screening purposes. The TSA will not be responsible for any damage to luggage that may result from having to unlock it to perform a screening because it is locked.

If a TSA inspector opens your baggage during an inspection, it will be sealed with a security seal and a notice bar code will be affixed to notify you that your baggage has been opened and inspected by the inspector.

Because the inspection process is under the jurisdiction of the United States and cannot be interfered with by the airline, we apologize for not being able to take responsibility for any damage or loss of any items in your baggage.
