# What Items Are Prohibited by TSA?

Traveling by air is a routine for many but can be a source of confusion. One of the most common questions travelers have is what they can and cannot bring in their luggage, whether it’s in their carry-on or checked baggage. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has very specific guidelines to ensure safety and security, and it’s essential to understand what’s allowed and what is prohibited.

## Restricted and Prohibited Items

When preparing for a trip, always refer to the TSA’s **”What Can I Bring?”** page. The agency updates this page frequently to ensure all items are classified as prohibited, allowed, and those that might require additional screening due to their appearance on an X-ray machine.

### Liquids, Gels, and Aerosols
Liquids, gels, aerosols, creams, and pastes (collectively called Liquids Rule) must follow the **3-1-1 liquids rule**:
– 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less per container
– 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, resealable bag per passenger

This applies to your carry-on bag only, while your checked luggage should also respect these guidelines but has different restrictions, particularly for flammable or hazardous substances.

### Alcohol
Alcoholic beverages are allowed in both carry-on and checked bags with specific restrictions:
– Must be less than 70% alcohol content
– No more than 5 liters per person per trip for liquor over 70% alcohol content in checked baggage

### Sharp Objects
Sharp objects are highly regulated by the TSA. Items such as **corkscrews with blades** are prohibited in carry-ons but allowed in checked bags provided they are securely wrapped to prevent injury to baggage handlers.

### Prohibited Items by Categories
Items are broadly classified by categories, including improvised explosive devices (IEDs), firearms哪怕是仿制枪，烟火制品，爆炸物，汽油，火柴棍，安全火柴，各种类型的刀具，尖锐物体，打火机燃料，压缩气体，以及任何可能引发非法行为或对飞机安全构成威胁的物品。

TSA还建议，对于那些虽然不在违禁物品清单上，但可能会引起额外检查的物品（因为它们在X光机上的图像会引发安全疑虑，或者液体、凝胶或喷雾剂的3-1-1规则的限制），最好将其打包在托运行李中，或在目的地通过邮寄方式发送，或干脆不要携带。有特殊需求的旅客或对接机安检过程有顾虑的乘客可询问TSA官员或主管，寻求旅客服务专员的帮助，他们可以在现场提供援助。

总之，了解TSA的禁运和受限物品清单可以确保您的旅行顺利进行。事先规划并提前了解TSA和航空公司的规定是一个好习惯，这样可以在机场减少压力，安全愉快地旅行。如需获取更多详细信息，您可以访问TSA的官方网站或其他相关的航空旅行指南。如果你不确定某个物品是否可以带上飞机，请咨询航空公司或直接向TSA工作人员查询。
