Travel and Security

With the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), entry to and travel within the United States is a focus of heightened government concern. We strongly encourage you to visit and revisit the following pages in order to keep up to date on the latest rules & regulations regarding travel and luggage restrictions.

Please note: items (including medications) confiscated by officials of the Bureau of Customs & Border Protection or the TSA will not be returned--so please make sure you that have followed the rules and that you have sufficient documentation with you when you travel.
