If you haven’t heard, TSA is asking individuals to SimpliFLY their luggage when traveling. This is a new system to organize what you pack and layer your items in your luggage. They claim it will make your travels easier and quicker. Here’s what they say you should do to SimpliFLY your overall security experience:

1. Pack an organized carry-on bag using layers – a layer of clothes, then electronics, more clothes, and then other items like toiletries. This will help security officers see what’s in your bag.

2. Have your boarding pass and ID ready for inspection when you get to the checkpoint.

3. Remove your coat and shoes and place them in a bin.

4. Place any oversized electronics (laptops, full-size video game consoles, DVD players and video cameras that use cassettes) in a separate bin. iPods and other smaller electronics can stay in your carry-on bag.

5. Follow the 3-1-1 rule for liquids and put your one quart baggie separately in the bin.

6. When in doubt, leave it out.
