The Screening Process X-Ray

• All carry-on baggage, including children's bags and items, must go through the X-ray machine. Examples include: diaper bags, blankets, and toys.
• All child-related equipment that will fit through the X-ray machine must go through the X-ray machine. Examples include: strollers, umbrella-strollers, baby carriers, car and booster seats, backpacks, and baby slings.
• When you arrive at the checkpoint, you should collapse or fold child-related equipment and secure items that are in the pockets, baskets, or attached to the equipment. You will place these items on the X-ray belt for inspection. Plastic bins are provided to deposit such items.
• When child-related equipment does not fit through the X-ray machine, the equipment must be visually and physically inspected.
• Ask screeners for assistance to help reunite you with your bags and child-related equipment, if needed.
• Babies should NEVER be left in an infant carrier while it goes through the X-ray machine.

Metal Detector

The screener will need to resolve the alarm for both the adult and child if something sets off the alarm as you are carrying a child through the metal detector.

• Babies and children must be removed from their strollers or infant carriers so they can be individually screened.
• You may not pass the child to another person behind you or in front of you during this process.
• Do not pass your child to the screener to hold.
• The screener may ask for your assistance with secondary screening of your child.
• If your child can walk unassisted, it would be best to have the child walk through the metal detector independently.
