Airline travel today is nothing like what it was ten years ago, and new rules and regulations are constantly going into effect.  On a hectic day of travel, the last thing anyone wants is to be held up at a security checkpoint because of some new policy you weren’t aware of.  To help you avoid the hassle o such a situation, we’re offering you a little advice to help navigate some of the most recent changes.
