TSA officials urge passengers to plan ahead and know what can be packed in a carry-on bag.

“Planning ahead and packing properly can facilitate the TSA security screening process and ease a passenger’s travel experience at the airport,” said Thomas Carter, the TSA's federal security director, in a statement.

Passengers are encouraged to pack gifts in bags or boxes, rather than being wrapped, in case they trigger an alarm.
