Check Point Information

T.F. Green Airport and the Transportation Security Administration have taken significant steps to minimize the amount of time you spend waiting to go through the passenger screening checkpoint.  Typical wait time is no more than a few minutes.  However, during peak travel hours or peak travel days, lines may be longer than normal.  Peak travel hours at T.F. Green Airport are typically 5am-8am and 4pm-6pm.

Your checkpoint wait time may also depend on the number of carry-ons and types of items packed.  Plan accordingly.

Remember to take all items out of your pockets and place them inside your carry-on.  Divest medicines and baby foods separately.  All other liquids, gels and aerosols under 3.4 oz. must follow the established TSA rules which can be found at www.tsa.gov.

Travelers may arbitrarily be scanned through the full-body scanner when passing through the checkpoint. This process should only take a few minutes. Travelers who elect not the pass through the scanners may request alternate screening procedures.  Here is a link to a video on the Advanced Imaging Technology.
